I thought this was a marvelous book. I will admit that I am sometimes drawn to the cover of books. This was no exception. I loved this book. I thought it had a great storyline, wonderful character development, and I never wanted it to end. I think this is a great book for a rainy day, a book club, or just to escape into another world.
