I am not typically into “chick” books, however, this one was absolutely wonderful. I loved the intricate weaving of the lives of the women. I was never bored with the storyline. I highly recommend this to any woman, especially those who are mothers, or want to be mothers.

Highly recommended. I will read it over and over again.

This was one of my favorite books this year. I loved the history and retelling of a familiar story. It was evident that the author has done her research and was able to combine compelling characters with historical accuracy. I even loved the ending (the mark of a good book in my opinion).
Highly recommended.

I read this book when I was living in North East China. Books are kinda scarce up there, so we formed a book club for the teachers working at the local language schools in Changchun. I read this book after begging my mom to send it to me from Canada and I absolutely adored it. I passed it on to the other teachers in the area and people were begging me to give it to them next. I don’t know where it ended up and I wish I did because I’d love to read it again.
