I've been an Irina Shapiro fan for a while now and eagerly (and immediately) purchase every single one of her books. Until today, Precious Bones had been my favorite, but A Leap of Faith now holds the title.You will definitely want to read The Hands of Time first to get your bearings. I also genuinely enjoyed the first book very much and love the author's use of history and time travel. The Hands of Time and A Leap of Faith are given a wonderful storyline, full of details and descriptive narration. In every one of Ms. Shapiro's books, I am captivated and drawn in, practically feeling like I'm wherever (and whenever) her characters are. I have an extremely difficult time putting the books down and feel compelled to read until I have finished.I am so glad to see Ms. Shapiro really developing her talent as she releases each book. She's not afraid to take difficult roads (especially melancholy side stories), and I really liked the chapters taking us from one character's perspective to another. The reader truly feels and cares for the individuals in the book. I find myself cheering for their fortune and shedding tears for their adversities.Excellent story, and I can't wait for her next!
