I really loved this book. It starts with young girls clear through their adulthood. And the images she creates are amazing. I took this book to work, and the other two employees that have read it so far, fell in love with it also. I can't wait to see what her next book is like

I couldn't have asked for a better book. This book is about three young ladies and their lives. It starts out when they are teenagers and goes a bit of story line about each of them back and forth and from time to time others that are in their lives too.

I hesitated spending money on a hard-cover book by an author I'd never heard of, but the price was well worth it. This is one of the best books I've read in a long while.

When I first saw how thick the book was (over 600 pages), I didn't know if I'd get through the whole thing, but I couldn't put it down. I'm looking forward to Ms. Lokko's next tale.
