I could not stop reading this book. A compulsive, wonderfully written family saga. The story draws you in and rewards you with the sparkling humanity of the main character. I highly recommend it.

The cover and the title drew me in right away. However, I stayed for the story, writing, and inspiration. Beautifully written and evocatively plotted, this book uplifted and consoled me during this time of loss and worry. The writing is lyrical and pulls you into the story. I highly recommend it.
