Completely understand. So much goes into creating the atmosphere that I found the characters lacking a bit as well. It’s made me want to read Cutting for Stone again because I felt the same way, but can’t even remember anything other than the bare bones of the plot.

Maybe reading it earlier in the day instead of near bedtime would be better. I have a medical background, so those parts are done well. His character chapters can be short and choppy. I was expecting the impact of Cutting for Stone, but it is not there. Not sure I will finish this.

It was a lot, wasn’t it? I have no idea about a website, but there may be a reading guide available at your library with that kind of info.

Is there a website to provide a list of characters?

I can see that. I love his writing but this had nowhere near the pull of Cutting For Stone.

True. There was a lot to absorb.

a list of characters, who they are, would have been ANCHORING.
