It is an escape, but it deals with the very real problems of women. I appreciated how she blended it all.

Their writing styles are similar which is probably why I loved this novel so much!

I local friend of mine recently read this one and loved it, as well. It seems absolutely atmospheric, which is such a treat these days.

Good. I must get it. I’ve read two of Umrigar’s novels: The Story Hour and Everybody’s Son … I liked both of them and find her writing so readable. This one sounds equally interesting!

I loved it! Did you read the sequel, The Secrets Between Us?
