I have always loved the novels of Ann Hood, and this was no exception. The characters were well developed. I was drawn into Ava's story from the beginning. This would be a good choice for book clubs. I am a member of a long standing book club and love the idea of reading this as a choice and then asking each member to choose a book that is meaningful to them.

A good read, a good mystery. It gives a look into other cultures and some history. It was a little slowing moving for me. It would make a good book club pick. There are many things that good be used for discussion.
