I can't put my finger on exactly why I didn't like the book. I loved the first part about Hanna but after her tale, the story seemed a bit disjointed - running back and forth and there were sentences and paragraphs that seemed to misplaced - like something was lost in a translation. I gave it a thumbs up because there were some good book club discussions topics to be found, but all in all, I was just waiting for the book to be over. On my own personal book club rating, I gave it a thumbs down.
