This is a well-told tale with just enough suspense and intrigue to keep the pages turning (pretty safe for sensitive listeners/readers). The points above are kept brief on purpose–I don’t want to give anything away. 🙂
I actually pre-read it a while back to see if it’d be a good birthday gift. It was!! It’s one of those books I’ve ALWAYS heard about or seen on lists, but hadn’t ever read. Have you read it??
