I'm about halfway through it--it is very hard to put down! The characters are fascinating and McMillan's dialogue is refined and witty. The Quincy family's dysfunctionality and elitism are very evident, and the book has (so far) been full of quite a lot of family drama. The love triangle between Ambrose, Ethan, and May has been developing and I am anxious to see how that plays out in further chapters.
I have previously read another novel by Claire McMillan, Gilded Age, and it was phenomenal. She lives near Cleveland, Ohio, where I am from, and it is always nice to read books published by local authors. The Ohio/Cleveland references in The Necklace are nice as well :-)
I am loving it and will post another (longer) review when I am finished reading (hopefully this weekend).
