i have to admit i bought & started this book a year before picking it up and forcing myself past the intro and into the story- which i was instantaneously hooked. im a new fan of mrs. goodmans and this is my favorite of her books.

i loved the book- from the desirable characters and intriguing lifestyles to the way the writing (after that slow beginning) hooks you. even more- the landscape, poetry- just the over all art in this book is simply mesmerizing. despite it's few downfalls- an almost too naive main character, the end lets you figure itself out when maybe it should have unfolded a bit more elegantly and as previously stated- a slow beginning. YET, all small prices for such an amazing tale. it's a story you've probably not heard, i suggest picking this book up and prepare to have your nose in a book for the next few days! :)
