Review: Haunting and lovely

Addresses issues of extreme hurt and sadness.  The story in itself is heartbreaking, yet it is a wonderful read.I would have liked to see the evil characters expanded a bit more--a little more character development, but I understand that I'm hearing the story from the protagonist's point of view and her mindset affects the telling.I wholeheartedly recommend this book.  My heart hurt (in that good kind of way) and I agonized over every wonderful word.I'm not sure why because the genre is completely different, but this author's voice reminds me so much of Carson McCullers' in the Ballad of the Sad Cafe.  It is smooth, steady, melodic, and pouring-over with tones of sadness.This is a fabulous read.  You won't regret your purchase.
