It was a beautiful story. Not sure why its been categorised as a romance though because it is not that at all. Its more a story of clashing ideals. Conservative Catholics vs progressive athiests fighting over the soul of a small town. I enjoyed it a lot.

A personal favorite of mine. It's delectable, a favorite read on a winter day with a mug of hot cocoa. Harris's prose is beautiful and intoxicating, and I very much look forward to reading the rest of the series.
