I really loved this book!

I thought Nicky was a great character. For a 12-year old she was very insightful and strong. While the relationship between she and her father seemed strained I believe there really was a very strong bond between them.

Anita Shreve has such a beautiful command of words. She weaves a touching story around a profoundly sad event in the life of a young girl at the cusp of womanhood. A good book to read when you're curled up by the fire.

Not a book I enjoyed at all. Just sort of wandered about and was never much of a story.

Loved it!!
