LOVED this book. The beginning was slow but the story line is engrossing. After a few chapters, I couldn't put it down. It is beautifully written - the author truly has a gift for storytelling. I'm an animal lover and the viewpoint of Almondine is exquisite. I cried throughout her chapter. The story does move a bit slowly but it's worth it for the detail and truly adds to the richness of the story. In truth, this writing style may not be for everyone but I highly suggest you give it a chance.
