A doll, an ancient war torn country and it's people, and love that lasts throughout the ages.Atwood tells the story of a woman who becomes possessed by an ancient spirit that has come to her through the purchase of a doll. It's about time travel, ghosts and love. Unfortunately, the romance in the story takes away from the suspenseful, intriguing story that begins the book.The books starts of with Kendra first discovering that something is off about her doll. Scenes are set up beautifully, with many of them set in moonlight. It was quite engrossing. Then the book, in my opinion, went off kilter to introduce and prolong the description of a love interest, not only in the present time, but in the past. When it finally got back to the story, an alternate communication technique was used to contact the ghost. Why it was needed when the ghost never found it difficult to communicate seemed only included to add drama, but the book was doing so well without it.A good book, however, and an Author who has a flair for writing and is creative and original with her story.
