My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The most beautiful book I’ve read in a long time
The plot and characters are engaging, and she delves deep into the human heart … but what really captivated me was the beauty of the writing. She makes it seem effortless, but I’m sure it’s not. I was unaware of this author before finding this book. I see she has written a number of others and is described in a way that suggests she has won many awards for them. I don’t wonder at that, and I plan to read everything else she’s ever written. This one was un-put-down-able, not for things like suspense and excitement, though it had those qualities among others - but because it was such a beautiful read that I couldn’t bear to stop.
