"East of the Sun, West of the Moon" is one of my favorite fairy tales, so I was happy to find this book.

I was unhappy, however, when I read it. Camille and Alain are not married, so there's a whole lot of pre-marital sex going on, and it isn't handled in what I thought was a tasteful way.

The cover just doesn't make me think of a book that includes somewhat explicit sex scenes. :/ I was disappointed and did not finish it.

Also,going for a fairy-tale feel, the prose can be a bit heavy. He seems to like when scents "mingle with and enchance" each other.

I can't recommend it.
