adritavares's review against another edition

Um livro meio místico sobre fantasmas e espíritos cujo final não foi crível para mim; não vi muito sentido em algumas coisas, principalmente na incapacidade do Ross em morrer. Ainda assim, acho a Jodi uma excelente escritora! Ponto a favor desse livro é que ele aborda a eugenia. "Mas a verdade é que ele não me ama. Nem sequer sabe quem sou. Se se sente demasiado envergonhado para admitir que a esposa tem dificuldade em manter-se viva, como irá sentir-se em relação a uma esposa que é meio índia?" (Lia)
"E da próxima vez que eu tiver um filho, Spencer, e ele tiver exatamente o mesmo aspecto? Com quantos ciganos me vais acusar de dormir até perceberes que estou a dizer a verdade? Até me enviares para uma instituição para ser esterilizada? - Abano a cabeça. - A minha mãe apaixonou-se por um índio. Culpa-a por isso, não a mim. A única coisa que fiz de mal foi apaixonar-me por ti." "Homens já não se preocupam em apurar a raça de cães, cavalos e gatos, mas antes em elevar a própria humanidade"

Starts off very slow, but ends up being hard to put down. There are so many different people and storyline that I started getting very confused about who everyone was, but honestly I really liked it. Jodi always does thorough research and gives us good twists that all make sense at the end
