Query: I wanted to like this book, It just didn't happen

The book started off well enough. I told my wife it had "promise". But it became a chore to read. She flashed between herself and her father and between an old father and a young father and a young girl and woman that I spend most of my time trying to decide from what point of view the story was being told. Could have been a good one but ultimately it fell on its face.
