I enjoyed this, but I think my expectation were too high as I really, really loved the 1st book. To me it seemed rushed and maybe even a little unfinished (is there a 3rd in this "trilogy"?). Although, in fairness, I often feel a sense of disappointment when finishing a good book because I just hate for such an enjoyable read to come to an end. The first book felt more involved and it seemed like in this one she was just trying to wrap it up and get it done. Still, I would recommend it. I enjoyed the historical bent, but this 2nd half focused more on the 80's life of the main character. I was more invested in the 20's story line and felt like I was just reading thru the 80's chapters to get to what I wanted to read. The dialogue and story line in the 80's also seemed more stilted and less true to life, to me at any rate.
