I seldom cry at books, but this one got me good. From the reader's perspective it's not so much a mystery to unravel (though it is for the characters), but it is a character study as people make decisions, hurt each other (and themselves), love each other. And the places of Maine and Nova Scotia are so richly depicted. I knew I would like this, but it was better than I imagined.

I liked it. I felt like you knew how it was going to end from the beginning but it was quite the journey. I cried when Ruthie was reunited with her family.
