I thought I would like this much more than I did. It wasn't as good as The Forgotten Garden, which I loved. The writing is good, but it sags and drags the reader with slow revelations, that it gets boring having to wait so long for a tidbit of excitement. It wasn't a book that I wanted to devote endless hours to reading, hence the distant hours it took to get to the conclusion.

Not a bad book, just not my cup of tea. And there is tea drinking by the way.
