A fantastic read

It's a shame this book is out of print, because I really enjoyed reading it. In fact there are not many books I can remember the title of six months later and still want to give a rave review. This story evokes emotions of pity and despair alongside warmth and feeling throughout. If you like books about a persons feelings and their reactions to those feelings then this novel will certainly bring about the whole spectrum as the life of the story teller unfolds. Fantastic.
