It took a while to get going, but by the time I was half-way through I was very involved in both the plot and the people. It was cleverly written, with information revealed a little like that of a mystery story, and I thought that the eventual climax worked very well. It was thought-provoking in places, too; a book I thought about about from time to time for a few weeks after reading.
Further reading: other Joanne Harris, a different type of book with a gradually revealed past secret is [[Things to Make and Mend]] by Ruth Thomas; another is [[The Golden Cup]] by Marcia Willett. You might also enjoy [[L'Auberge by Julia Stagg]].
