Add a CommentI really liked this book. It was slow paced, but descriptive and adventurous. It didn't require the petty romance or obsession that is so common to books and stories nowdays. This book keeps you closely entwined as the main character weaves her story of loss and discovery.
One of the better books that I've read recently - it's just a good story!
An interesting concept for a book; however, the story and characters fall short, despite its hefty 600 plus pages. The author's language is overdone and the main character's inner voice is not believable given the time period in which she resides. I do not recommend this book to anyone.
