Not sure how to explain this - but I was bothered when reading this book. I understand that this is based on real story, with real people. But I don't really feel like I can identify with these people, and nor with their plights - with maybe an exception of one person, whose story is more a quite contemplation. I don't think that the author did a good job in fleshing them out - and having the story presented in 2-5 pages of "act", the constantly having to switch focus from person point of view to another (and for every short time) is really a barrier to relating to any of the character. And at the end, maybe I am also disappointed at these people. This is not to say that I think the leaders of the church is justified in closing the church, but I kept wanting to find these parishioners to realize that what makes them Catholic is more than just a building - even if that building contains your life history.
