There is such depth to this book.  Each person is so well written that with each encounter the reader becomes more acquainted with their virtues, their foibles, their faults, and their personality.  Throughout this story my heart ached for Lucy.  With so many strong female characters written into stories today, we need female characters that are strong like Lucy.  Their is a strength of character missing in our current females in fiction.  Great book.
