review 1: I liked the story, but I had read the jacket of the book first, and then was expecting it to be darker than the book ended up being. The author writes richly, and makes the characters real and life like, able to quickly attach to. There is Ellie, who finds herself in a predicament, after her best friend is murdered on the walk to her daughters' school. Ellie is the daughter's Godmother (Sophie) Ellie herself, had a still born and never got over it. She steps right into the mother roll, and is there for the widower, while she leaves her husband Phillip over seas. Some twist and turns, but good book over all.
review 2: This novel spans the 80-year life of Rachel, who was born in Honolulu and lived most of her life in involuntary exile on Molokai as a leper. The b... moreook is rich in the history of Hawaii and of the medical condition now known as Hansen's disease. In one of the most poignant passages, Sister Catherine, a nun serving the afflicted on Molokai, states that how we choose to live our lives is a measure of the Diviine within each of us. These words resonated with me as I read this book about people who were forced to make decisions about how they lived in a very difficult situation. less
