Barbara L.B. Storey

I really enjoyed this book - the story is fascinating and based on truth (my favourite kind of story), and the author creates an amazing and wonderful atmosphere that pulls you right into the experience of the characters. My only problem was that one of the story threads was - I felt - wrapped up a little too quickly and neatly. I would rather have seen it seep into the story earlier, be revealed more gradually. On the other hand, one of the threads was left open, deliberately, and I liked that very much. You knew what was going to happen next, but it was definitely okay that the actual development was not part of the book.

All in all, a beautifully written book, and highly recommended.
