This is an amazing story It is so different that you never know what is going to happen next Loved it Stayed up to read until late in the night I received this book free from Goodreads Maggie Freeman Sadly haunting taleI enjoyed the evocative descriptions of landscapes and people which made the characters real The story of fragmenting relationships and petty human cruelties was achingly sad at times Maggie Freeman
