Summary: Fantastic!!
Comment: I was wandering through the bookstore one afternoon and just picked this up randomly. I can honestly say this is my favourite "pick up" so far, and I pick up many different books. Carol Field is very passionate in her detail, and the characters' stories are ones that you feel personally despite the (at times) exotic locale.
I felt an indifference towards Miranda at first, but I did admire her tenacity. Of the 3 generations of women in that house, I felt the most compassion for the eldest and the youngest, but I guess I understood most where Miranda was coming from......
This is a wonderful book, a captivating read, and a perfect rainy afternoon escape. It won't take you long to finish it!!

Summary: Beautiful Writing, Awkward Transitions
Comment: Though the book dealt with interesting material and exotic themes, I felt in some ways that the flow of the book was a bit awkward at times. There is more of the impression of having different episodes that together make up the story, with little transition between them. For example, the daughter's coming of age and relationship with her mother and grandmother could have been developed and explored much more to my satisfaction.
Field's writing style however is delicious and thouroughly enjoyed it. I am interested in readng her other work.
