She is a child of privilege from a family where she feels like an outsider and she has just returned to live in the small English town where she grew up, near that family. Obviously, the storylines do eventually link up and the central part of the novel follows a more linear plot line, focusing on Suzannah. And whatever emotional attachment I might have is set aside as well. So just as I’m just getting to know one character, the chapter ends and that character is then set aside for some chunk of the book. The issue, for me, is that I then need to remember multiple story lines, without yet knowing how they will ultimately intersect. This is a technique I’ve found several authors using lately - so it must be in vogue. At the beginning, Moyes introduces a bunch of characters in sequential stand-alone chapters.
