OK, I'll have to give it one more try. I really want to be a functioning part of this book club, so that means sometimes reading things I'm not really enjoying, so long as I don't find them completely offensive in some way. (But I'm not worried about next month -- I have a great idea for that category!)

I tried twice but couldn't get into it.. I think its more of a mood/timing thing than the novel itself. I do intend to try again at some point.

I've not read this one specifically, but I have read other books by Wharton and they were a slog as well.

For those interested, I finished reading Ali and Nino on the weekend. It was beautiful. One of the best books I've read this year.
