This book was the November selection for my book club, and I really loved it! The characters were so well fleshed out, and there were layers to each of them. There were a lot of characters, yet all of them were invaluable to the story.
There were many little tidbits that I felt showed brilliant insight into the human condition.
My final word: I loved this book! The characters were so full and rich, that I mentioned at our book club that I could read additional books based on each of the other characters. Brilliant, sweeping, intriguing, fast moving. This is one grand tale!

Best book I have read all year! Amor's words sounded like music. I loved the rhythm of this book. Such a satisfying book.

Very well written and really pulls you into the world of New York City in the late 1930s. I could very much relate to Kate in many ways. Falling for the wrong guy, her love for Agatha Christie novels, and a bit of the single sadness. It's a fabulous book dealing with reflecting back on life and how the experience of life changes you, but you don't realize it until you've been through it. Very Fitzgerald and Hemingway in the fact that there's such an excellent sense of place and capture of time.
