review 1: I really liked this book. It wasn't what I expected it to be, but in a delightful way. Deborah Noyes did a wonderful job of using the voice of the 1830's and 40's without taking it over the edge. Her writing gave me a nice feel of the time, with out it being difficult to read. I will admit that I was a bit lost at first. It starts out as the story of two different lives, but the lives of these two women are then woven together nicely. I am now interested in reading some of the books about Maggie Fox that the author mentioned in the Acknowledgments. I recommend it to anyone that is enterested in the early Spiritualist movement in our country. Thank you Ms. Noyes! : )
review 2: Filled with lovely, lyrical language. Unfortunately, she manages to drain most of the... more inherent spookyness from her own plot. She does very little with the supernatural aspects of the spiritualist movement which forms the backdrop of the story. There a few chapters scattered throughout that are gripping enough to give you hope that the whole thing is going to pick up the pace & come together. Not. Still, the first 1/3 of the book is filled with beautiful imagery. less
