Christine Higdon's two novels have been my favourite books of the last decade. I could hardly put this book down. The characters are engaging; the plot is heartbreaking in spots; the shift in narration keeps all the stories prominent. I shed some tears, but was left with a feeling of hope. It is such a pleasure to read such a well-crafted, well-written piece of work.
