I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book, while written with excellent mastery of language, was so confusing it was impossible to follow the story. The constant interruptions of the narrative to flash back to the McCarthy witch-hunt era, seemed to have no connection to the other story of a young boy deliberately stranded overnight by this father on an island.
It was a constant struggle to remember the large number of characters and their relationship to each other.
I was glad when the book ended.
I think you are not alone in feeling this way, but I kind of liked the way it jumped around. It gave it a dream like quality.

I know some people liked it, but I found it confusing. The writing was very good, but it didn’t speak to me.
