Fantastic book. I actually love the interwoven lines, that seem to have driven some reviewers mad. Full of every beautiful detail I crave when listening to a story.
And Kristin Kalbli, gah, what a talented voice. The characters seemed to flow so effortlessly from her.
This is my 1st Beatriz Williams book, but I'll be picking my next right away.
