Query: A Book I'm Glad I Finished

This book moves languidly until the end and I admit I read it in spurts. At times it was too depressing while I was in a depressed mood but when my mood lifted I was better able to be objective. Hamilton's prose is beautiful and the way she gets into the characters' interiors is poignant enough, though I doubt many people have the profound kind of conversations these characters display here (though I wish it was the case). If you look at the story as how a person can be ostracized from their community based on false accusations, the inner strength it takes to forgive your friends and loved ones when it's so much easier to be bitter and blame and how we have to persevere in the face of losing our dreams, you can see how this book can be analogous to our own lives. And the characters do successfully move on and their story becomes just a sad episode in their lives.
