I was enticed by both the cover, and the description of the book upon hearing about it - as well as knowing that this book has been a big hit since hitting the shelves and is frequent bookclub favorite. The writing and prose lived up to expectation, as did the plot and era of the story - I loved the way the book started off with the perspective of the home itself, which was extremely unique and gripping from the first page. Following that, however, I felt like it just took too long to get into the plot - there was so much time spent on getting to know the characters, but in the end I still felt like I didn't know the characters very well at all.
All in all, a good read.
