I had nominated it for my book club but it didn't get picked. <br /><br />Anna - I will keep an eye out for your review.<br /><br />Jenn.. thank you... it will be a good one I think you are going to like all the research stuff in it.<br /><br />Kathy I hope you get the book. Another nice thing.. It is NOT too long. Just about right.<br /><br />Bonnie..Thank you for the recommendation. I am going to read the book now.. I have had too many good reviewers refer me to it.<br /><br />Alyce.. curious as to your thoughts.. can't wait for your review. Wondering if some of the parts are too hard to "hear" on audio. <br /><br />Jewish Rantings... you know.. I think my review was based on the sum of the books parts...Perhaps I should think on my reviews a couple of days maybe to get a full feeling and flavor. I didn't immediately dislike the ending...I didn't love it.... I think I was still left in the past with the other characters, and a saffron dress and a white hair and all of that.... In hindsight the ending did sort of go wonky. I think if I enjoy a book for 80 or 90 percent.. I am okay with the ending that an author chooses, usually a different or surprise ending doesn't turn me off a whole book. ( Usually) I am going to check out your blog for sure!<br /><br />Kaye.. I have to say I didn't mind the Hannah side plots. ... but in hindsight the last segment was not my favorite part. <br /><br />I am loving the book talk and comments..
