I own a copy

My mother is currently reading this book. She said wistfully on the phone to me today 'This is SO GOOD, Sarah. I wish you could write like this.'

To which I: 'I know, Mom. I do too.'

Actual review to come, but this says a lot, I think.

Sarah Oh, thank you and I do okay, but I did love this. ;) It has the literary flavr and beautiful descriptions, and I have a strange love for Madrigal especially.

Mayakda Did your mom really say that? LOL.
I love this book but I have to say that your books are just as wonderfully engrossing.

Beth Sarah, this is a great comment but I have to tell you...I started reading this book and it completely reminds me of your writing style!

Ariel I have to admit I finally read it and it's quite wonderful, so much better than her others. Thanks for encouraging me to plunge ahead, Sarah. Now I am dying to go to Prague.

Prague is wonderful, and a great novel setting! I also HIGHLY recommend Robin Wasserman's THE BOOK OF BLOOD AND SHADOW, also set in Prague. I like lots of books set in America, but especially as I'm not American, nice to have some variety. ;)

Ariel Thanks, Sarah! I will immediately go and get The Book of Blood and Shadow. But you know my heart belongs to you, and I'm waiting impatiently for Unspoken and Team Human to come out!!!
Fan-ishly yours,
Ariel
