This was a wonderful novel. One of the most resonating I've read in a while. The story is about a woman questioning her life, marriage, history, faith, all the usual. While searching for answers she finds pain, guilt, truth, love, etc.. There are some quirky and fun characters, beautiful settings, love affairs, mysteries and mysticism. All of these important and interesting, but the real story is the main character and the heart opening process she goes through. Considering all of this, it is still a pretty light and fast read. Thoroughly enjoyable!
