At first glance, this strikes as just a sweet story with simple characters. But as it continues (and with re-readings - I've done so twice since the initial read, which is something I rarely do), it becomes evident that the sweet story has a richness and universal appeal that has to be unwrapped in layers. I also love how, though the writing is crystal clear (in its translation), it also has the scent of origins in a culture other than my own.
And who doesn't like when a best-selling title makes mention of the Urim and Thummim, eh?
