I have to admit, just like a couple others I have read, that a romance style type book is sure not my style. But history, tragedy,off the wall, fast paced stories, especially ones like this one that never stop and certainly never bore, are my style. And this book has all of that and then some.I was especially drawn in by the fact that this is a debut?? This is a bit unreal, this seems more along the lines of a very sophisticated, seasoned writer, (not saying Karen Black is not, just shocking that this is a 1st)I especially like how the story starts on page 1 and then there you are, there is no waiting, no visiting everybody and everything in the book first, you just start right there. Definitely a huge plus with any book. This was full of heartache, sorrow, tragedy, and the ending is more then appropriate. (That is always something that can possibly ruin even the best stories!)I was a little reluctant at first to understand or even accept the whole, "falling in love with a cousin" part, but honestly, that was nothing after the first few pages. Not that I personally would condone it, but truly can see how this could happen.I am looking forward to seeing and reading more from this author! I find her style very easy to comprehend, she has a natural way with words that you can start to see right away in the first few pages!! I like how something so forbidden, can be turned to something so sweet, and I don't think many writers can do such a thing. This one is one to keep your eye on.**I received a copy of this book in return for my honest review**
