Despite the beautiful prose and the skilled characterization, the plot dragged during several points in the book. However, the heart-stopping action of the ending redeemed the book. Barr is an outstanding author, and this book a fine example of what she does well. For questions or comments about a review, please contact the person listed at the top of the review.
