Did anyone find that reading Expats first was requisite to their understanding and enjoyment of The Paris Diversion?

I read The Expats after I finished The Paris Diversion. I admittedly had a difficult time paying attention to some parts of the book. I needed to reread sections because I felt like I was missing something. I had a hard time connecting with the characters. I would like to reread The Paris Diversion now that I have read the first book to see if I feel differently about it.

I wish I had read The Ex-Pats before reading The Paris Diversion. I would have been more attuned to the characters and the story. Only after I had read The Paris Diversion did I read a review that suggested that one should read The Ex-Pats first---too late. I do think I would have had a better understanding of the characters and motivation if I had read The Ex-Pats first.
