Review: This story idea should have worked

The premise for this story was right down my alley. And, I have liked other works by Mimi Barbour.  I should have loved reading this book.  Instead, I found it slow, boring, and without much substance.  I enjoy reading about people and background in a novel.  My favorite read is a book that offers more of a character study, which this seemed to try for.  So, why didn't this grab me and enthrall me?  Somehow, the author missed the mark in conveying the characters in this story -- at least, for me.
