This book weaves the narrative of a family through generations and across continents. 
Parts of it took my breath away. 
Parts of it filled me with rage.
Parts of it made me blush. 
At least once, I was brought to tears, and at the end, I was left longing for another beginning. 

I'm so glad to have experienced this one, and am looking very much forward to Soraya Palmer's next book of tales!
