I really enjoyed this book, even though it took me a long time to read it. Because the reader knows the outcome, there is no compelling "plot line" to keep you guessing and reading. But there is SO much that I didn't know, and learned, from reading this compelling book.
I highly recommend it (even if the NY Times did not!) Here is a review from the Washington Post that reflects my feelings on this wonderful historical novel.
An interview with the author, and her afterword at the end, explains just why this book is so important now...today...in this politically charged polarized America we live in.
