    <body><![CDATA[This was an interesting book.  I enjoyed the references to the Tarot as a backbone of the plot and the smattering of French words and phrases sprinkled throughout, but only because I already had a working knowledge of these things.  The book itself suffered from a dual story line; one present day and one set in 1891.  I was truly interested in the historical plot.  It's references to people, places, and history were intriguing.  However, in trying to weave together the two seperate stories the overall plot seemed to get lost.  No one plot point or device was ever fully explored, instead they seemed to dead end and then backtrack to continue down some different mildly promising path.  In the end, if it had simply been one story about the incidents surrounding two siblings during the early 1890s I would have really liked it, but as it stands I will be trading in my copy at McKay's at the first available opportunity.]]></body>
