If you loved fairy tales as a child (as I did) you will love this book! Moving back and forth between generations of one family was a bit disconcerting at first. Once I got used to that, I was completely enthralled. The fairy tales within the story were just as good as the main story. My only complaint was that the ending was a bit too pat, but then fairy tales are like that, aren't they?
This is a truly fabulous book. It was highly recommended to me by a friend. A sense of mystery is ever present from beginning to almost the end of the book. The mystery gradually unravels as you read along. It is a book that I found difficult to put down. This is one of those books that you want to read on and on and feel a sense of loss when it comes to an end. Kate Morton is a very gifted writer.
One of my favorite books of all times. Spanning oceans and generations it is like walking through time. As the stories unfold you find yourself caught in the strings that tie them all together. Full of twists and turns, it hated to see it end. I loved the story so much that this purchase was actually for my daughter. When anyone asks me "what's a good book to read", this is always my first suggestion.
Loved this story. Kept my interest. Couldnt put it down!
