Query: Disappointing

I was looking forward to reading this book for so long, and unfortunately I was disappointed. The narrative is so confusing! For the first 75% of the novel I was struggling to make sense of what was going on. It is one thing to try to create suspense, but it is entirely another thing to leave the reader in suspense of what is happening for over half of the book! Only towards the end did the novel start to become more descriptive in what was actually happening and who all the people were.I do see what the author was trying to do- with the skipping back between time periods and leaving each part on a cliffhanger- but unfortunately it was done to extremes. I was just so confused. I wanted to finish the book more to make sense of things than because I was interested in the outcome.However, one positive thing is the descriptions the author gives of the south of France- they are lovely.
