The book started off well, and I loved the way the lives of the grandmother, mother and daughter blended together, and how she set the scene of the beautiful island in jamaica with all the lives of the characters growing and developing. But that was about all I loved. It was an interesting story, but the way it just ended without a satisfying outcome was irritating. I put this book down with disappointment, and won't be picking it up any time soon.
