This book intrigued me by the title. I loved it from the very first page. I got up early every morning to read it with my coffee and also before going to sleep. Wonderfully written. I could visualize the characters, especially Ona. I didn't want it to end. I hope this is …more made into a movie; it would be amazing! I will definitely be reading more of Ms. Wood's books and loaning this novel to my friends!(less)
