3.0

The scope of this novel suits the continent, with a narrative that traverses time and place, tightly focused on Brigid and her daughters as they seek some kind of home. There is too much tell, not enough show, and the pacing drags at times, but Wylde's characters shin, and her picture of Adelaide feels all too real.
