review 1: This was an interesting story, from leper colony to asylum. I wish it were a book club book because it would be really good for discussion. This is a book where I can't tell yet how much I might have liked it, thus the 3 stars and possibly a change up to 4. The upgrade happens when I can't stop talking about a book I have read to other people and we will see if that happens. Excellent characters and story plot throughout I am just not sure if this is my kind of book yet or not. SEE? All this dilemma might make me rate it a 4. A book I have to ponder usually ranks high simply for keeping my mind on it.
review 2: It took me a while to figure out the title of this book, and not long after I did, it was over, leaving me wanting a LOT more information and dev... moreelopment than was given. The main character was born to a worker in a Jamaican leper colony who died giving birth to her. As she grows up, she discovers she has the gift of "warning," or prophesying what will happen to a person in the future. She is respected in Jamaica, but when she is sent to England, she is locked up in the loony bin. Her life in England is barely hinted at, and it was that part that I wanted more detail about. What really happens when such divergent cultures clash? The author left me hanging. less
