I enjoyed the style of writing as well as the content. The juxtapositioning of the 'real world' with the contemplative religious world was fascinating. Characters were believable and intriguing. A finely balanced combination of thought provoking passages with real life challenges. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/261940?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
