I thought this novel was awful. Waste of time and money. Filled with cliches and unlikable characters. My mistake for pursuing a best-seller without doing more research. I'm ready to sell it on Amazon. I don't want to see it anywhere around my house. ...more

This is so poetically written. It really pulls the reader in. I love it. The plot is not exciting, but it is quite poignant and emotionally deep. I was immediately pulled in and didn't want to put the book down. I was emotioanlly and spiritually touched by the story. I quickly bonded with all the characters and was sad to see them go in the end. ...more

Our book club had mixed feelings on this book. I did not like the choices the husband and wife made, but the way the book was written, I could understand why each of the characters felt compelled to make them.
