    <body><![CDATA[Very, very weird.  I was confused while I read The Foretelling, and I found it to be unlike anything I've ever read before, but not in  good way, exactly.  Interesting, but I didn't really think it was anything to shout about.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An absolutely beautiful little book.  The way the story was told and the story itself were pure poetry.  I read it in one sitting, and was incredibly inspired by the tales of strong women within its pages.  I highly recommend it!]]></body>
