REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:

This book is a treasure. The characters – and there are many of them – have an amazing, effortless depth. Montefiore brings you into their life and effortlessly ties in the ghost of a young wife.  I’m not usually much of a fantasy fan, but I loved how this ghost  haunts throughout the story. Romance is part of the plot, but there is so much more to the book – from the deep hurt of 30+ year old wound to the recent pain of death, every character in this book is touching. I’m amazed that the book switches from first-person to third-person without making me feel lost … the timing of chapters is well thought out (and maybe edited … kudos either way). This is the best book I’ve read this year.
