So, I've had this book checked out for over 5 weeks. The bookmark is between pages 70 and 71, where it has sat for at least 10 days. I'm giving up. The story is just not catching me--about a minister in a very small town in New England in the 1950s and his daughter who hasn't spoken since her mom...what?...left?...died? It's all very mysterious. The atmosphere and writing is really well done, but the story itself is just not grabbing me.
Too bad, really, because I've been singing "Abide with me, fast falls the eventide" the whole time the book has been lying around the house. Maybe that's why I'm giving up; I'm tired of the same song running through my head!
