Why do struggle to finish this novel? This is the third time I have stalled out more than half way through. I just can't seem to care about this family...tell me: should I tough it out?

The flow is fine, even in translation, I get the sense of the story-telling. It was magical at first, now I'm in the war periods. My trouble is, I can't ever remember the names of all the characters. Aramantha was biting her fingers? Jose who? What just happened to Rebecca? My head can't keep track of the narrative and that's where I'm stuck. I don't mind a story that has no definitive but the characters are forgettable and it's hard to keep in touch with the family.(less)
