I love Linda Holeman's books. She has the ability to paint pictures with her words and transport the reader to another time and place. I couldn't wait for the publication of this book. I ordered it from Canada, and started reading it the day that it arrived. This one takes place in upstate New York and Morrocco in the 1930's.
I loved the parts of the book that took place in Morrocco, they were vividly and beautifully written, but skipped through the parts set in New York. I found them boring. It's probably me since the book has garnered such terrific reviews, but I really disliked the main character. I found her to be naive, thoughtless and tactless, and it tainted my enjoyment of the book. While I struggled to finish it, I am already looking forward to her next book.
