In reply to Andrea. I hope you enjoy it! She really does a marvelous job pulling together disparate plots and characters.

In reply to Rory. She really does create entire worlds- which is nice when you want to get away from this one!

Kate Morton novels are always a good escapist fiction. I am reading this one right now, though I’m early on still.

She’s highly readable. I’ve only read one of hers: The Forgotten Garden (speaking of long books in your previous post). But I agree she should do less wrapping up at the end, and more just letting it go. Still I imagine a good escape read.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! I just pulled the trigger to get it from BOTM and used up some of my remaining credits there

In reply to Jan. Well, she does tie everything up but there is so much that it feels forced- if that makes sense. Every single character, every item and she wraps them all up and it feels forced. Still, that was the very end of the book so for the most part I loved the rest of it. Her stories are so good!

Thoughtful review Catherine. You’d think at 500 pages the author would have been able to tie things up satisfactorily, right? One a book gets over 350 pages it has to be excellent for me to have the patience for it.
