Wonderful. Tender and harsh, evocative and precise, a story of the old world and the new, marriage, children, hardship, loss of faith, joy.

Basically, I do not like how little we actually get to know the characters so that James can pull off the grand reveals and plot twists (of sorts) at the end. Will reread at some point but I felt a little betrayed as a reader, and underwhelmed.
Stylistically he reminds me of John Singer Sargent, a master of his craft, an absolute master, but somehow without revealing enough about his subjects.
