Another disappointment. This was a book club choice and it started out with such an evocative image and strong language. The sense of mystery and doom was so well done. But it devolved into a real mess and I lost interest about midway through. The theme suggested by the title was not well explored. I would have liked to known more about why the "Kept" were kept, the motivations and psyche of the keeper, etc. That would have been a much more interesting book. It was also dark with little redemption that I could discern. Probably would not have finished it if it weren't for book club.
