I agree with everything readers have said: from why did June do it, what's the story of Eliot all about, to beautifully written. I found the flipping back and forth in time annoying toward the end - way too mysterious for the kind of read that this novel held in potential. I always feel bad for the writer and as a close reader when I start glazing over the prose to find the next reason to keep on reading.
I hope Emily will keep writing beautiful books but also hope that the next one has more of the why of plot and characterization included.
