At first I was not drawn into this novel as I found myself not liking the main character. But its story line slowly changed and I found myself enjoying the format with which it was written, along with the long line of characters. There were many people narrating all the different characters which I also enjoyed-especially towards the end. For me, that put this novel way above all other books I have enjoyed listening to. The process of Sybil slowly looking at herself and her life as she ages was extremely well written and I could definitely relate. I recommend this book highly!
