Another wonderful review Wendy. Now I am sorry that I didn’t participate in the tour. It seems like just about everyone enjoyed the book. It is on my TBR.

Serena: That seems to be the #1 problem readers had with the story – the length and leisurely pace.

Toni: I’ll look forward to hearing your thoughts on it once you’ve finished.

Lisette: Scott’s writing really is a joy to read!

Amber: I know what you mean – we never really understood what happened; although I suspect one of the brothers or maybe the mother used it to care for her other children; although we also don’t know if she sent it on to the father of the baby.

Anna: *nods* the pace was definitely slow.

Jenn: Looks like we agreed on this one

Nicole: I agree the second half held up better for me.

Swapna: It is starting to look like this book divides its readers into those who loved it and those who thought it moved to slow…I agree it was slow, but Scott’s writing sucked me in anyway.

I’m glad you enjoyed this one. The length and its slow nature didn’t appeal to me. Nice review!

Great review Wendy. I think you touched upon a lot of the pints that I had when considering this book for my review. I definitely wanted the first half to move more than it did. I was wondering if I would end up liking it, but then the second half kicked it up a notch and the vision and cleverness of this novel and Scott’s writing revealed itself.

I agree with you–it was an amazing book but the length was a little daunting. I’m glad I finished it, though. It was an amazing piece of writing!

This was a tough read for me. I thought the story was interesting, but I wish it unfolded faster. Glad to hear you enjoyed it, though.

What a nice review!

One of the burning questions I had towards the end was… “What happened to the money that got sent?” It wasn’t until the non-answer that I was able to let it go – I didn’t know if someone was going to be revealed as a villian or not.

Glad to “hear” you enjoyed it too I really loved Joanna Scott’s writing!
I agree, it was a bit slow at times, I was also getting impatient because I just had to find out the truth!
The M thing made me sooooo sad

I am enjoying the book… which is probably why I didn’t tear through it this weekend like I thought I would for in time to finish for the tour. I am enjoying the writing though at first it was getting in the way. Great review. I can’t wait to finish the book.
