Loved this book. Read it in two sittings and was pulled into the characters and setting right away. A great read.

A surprisingly fascinating read for a free library pick up. Intriguing thoughts on anthropology throughout; I kept thinking about how this should be required reading for an intro anthro course vs some inhuman textbook.
Daisy
So that's anthropology. I had no idea.

Seriously: this is interesting AND romantic.

The final sentence of the book...perhaps one of the most beautiful such sentences ever written.
