I hate giving up on a book but this just wasn’t for me. I made it to about page 50 before deciding to quit. The poverty, corruption, and utter sadness left me feeling more depressed than engaged. I’ve read tons of difficult and tragic books, but this one never gave me a reason to keep going. My apologies to my book club friends. I really wanted to finish it, but sometimes a book just isn’t the right fit.
