Reviews
I enjoyed this novel very much
A very beautiful and very moving story
The characters are strong, believable and endearing - and will evoke recognition and sympathy from all ages . . . An enjoyable read - and a promising debut novel
Perceptive debut novel . . . Be sure that your bookmark is a hankie
An emotional roller-coaster of a read
Wonderful full-blooded traditional storytelling, but with a fresh slant
