This is the kind of book you want to settle in with, perhaps swinging in a hammock, or curled up in a cozy spot. For me it was one of those stories where I felt quickly immersed and invested in the lives of the women at its centre. Because it really is in great part a story of female friendship and work and resilience. All of the central characters were well realized and memorable, as was the setting. The pages more or less turned themselves. My only real complaint was that the villains felt a little over the top and bordered on caricature at times. Still, the drama made for fun reading and I was a happy reader from start to finish.
