It’s one of those perfect blend novels- great characters with a plot that you want to keep reading. It worked really well for me right now!

I’m always embarrassed to see how little I know of the world- even though I don’t think I’m ignorant. Maybe no one does? Anyway, it was a marvelous book. I’m reading If I Had Your Face now and it’s set in contemporary Seoul and it’s just as staggering. Not from the viewpoint of the Japanese, just the society now.

I probably won’t get to it in the next month or so, but I’m so glad to know that you liked it so well.

I appreciated how this novel brought that story humanly to light. And I really want to read The Mountains Sing!
