review 1: Anita Higman has penned an amazingly beautiful, heartrending contemporary story of healing and redemption, as one woman's journey to find her twin sister in Melbourne, Australia, leads to more than she could have ever envisioned. Ms. Higman's use of descriptive imagery and my love for Australian settings was a match made in Heaven! With very real characters, situations, and raw emotions -- this novel gets two thumbs up from me!
review 2: I am not going to go into plot details in my review, there are plenty of reviews that do it. I am just going to write about my thoughts and impressions from this book. Well, how do I put it nicely? I was extremely bored and there were quite a few moments in the book where I was rolling my eyes at the plot development. It just d... moreid not seem believable at all!! I was attracted by the story, but the writing style and the story development seemed amateurish at best. How do you meet a wonderful man on the first day you land in a different country? How do you randomly run into your twin sister on the street? Why would that wonderful man travel across the world the day after you left just to be with you? How does he find your mother's home address and shows up there AT THE SAME TIME you do?... I just did not find that believable at all. If anything it really frustrated me. Also, the book has A LOT of religious references. I am not a religious person, but I do not have anything against religion, but when it gets shoved down my throat I get really annoyed... So bottom line - if I didn't have to read this book for a book club, I would have put it down two chapters in, definitely wasn't worth the time. less
