Now that I've read the synopsis, I will say I am glad I read the book first and went into it kind of blind. I just knew I wanted to read it because of how much I love her previous novels. I was sent a complimentary early electronic copy of this book from the author as part of her launch team so I never saw the back of the book or its synopsis online anywhere before reading it.

Before I was even 3/4 of the way through it, I had a running list of 20 or so people I wanted to give it to as a gift. Even without its depth of meaning, this would be a great story, but the allegorical aspect of it is what made it touch my heart so deeply. This is truly one of the best books I've ever read, and that is saying something because I read a lot of books! I found myself intrigued from the very beginning, and my interest never waned. Powerful story! Still thinking about it days later
