A TRAGIC PAST BURIED FOREVER IN THE ISLAND PLACE OF STONES

A Place of Stones is a wonderful novel because it's real and out there. It talks about people and sentiments we find ourselves dealing with everyday. The love you seek but cannot reach. The want to belong but never finding the place you know is home. I think it got to me because once I started to read it I could not put it down. I got involved in the story, imagining the places and people mentioned. Deciding whether I liked a character or not. I think a particular novel reaches the top and is read by many if the plot line is strong enough to keep the reader interested and guessing on what might happen next. A Place of Stones did that.

This book continues to haunt me...years after I read it....

This novel is so beautifully writen that it's extremely difficult to ever forget the characters or the dark secrets they hide. It introduced me to this author who has gone on to write equally compelling stories

absolutely wonderful

couldn't put it down! It's wonderful to find a new author who writes beautifully, creates wonderful images and characters. Can't wait to read all of her works
