Add a CommentBeautifully written, but has a very complex plot and story.
disappointing
I was very disappointed in this book. It seemed to be very dis-jointed & difficult to follow the story line. I read until page 100, looked ahead and realized the narrative remained the same so I closed it up & went on to a book which was more interesting.
