While "only connect . . ." is the book's epigraph, this book also makes me think of the Dalai Lama's statement that "kindness without wisdom is cruelty." The Wilcox family may be positioned as the book's villians but both Schlegel women cause their share of harm too and only faintly seem to make their own connections.

This story is remarkable! Great writing, interesting philosophies, characters that are almost real, beautiful sceneries and an indictment on how we sometimes judge others while overlooking our own faults. I truly enjoyed this book!
