      Slow to get into but very good. Siddons gets so into her characters that it really makes it hard not to care about them. I liked this one a lot!
    • 4/5
      Siddons has a magical way with words, and her skill in character development is outstanding. The story is less compelling than it is a continuity in an ongoing saga of a woman and her child. Like many authors, the ending seemed "rushed," and IMHO lacked some of the fine detail that Siddons otherwise masters so well.
    • 3/5
      This book took me a while to get into. I had actually put it away with the intention of trying again later, then grabbed it again when I needed something convenient to read. Ms. Siddon tends to do a lot of set-up, and I felt like I had to plow through it before I got to the interesting meat of the story. However, when push comes to shove, I end up rather enjoying her books, even when I have to skim through several pages about worshipping the woods.
