Headline Review

review 1: I really enjoyed this book, and Linda Holeman has a way of drawing her reader into the setting of her novel and into her character's mind. Her descriptions of her main character's surroundings makes you envision the setting and the first person narrative is written thoughtfully, which gives great depth to Pree(the main character) and her emotions. She is a great storyteller that weaves a slow tale at first, which then takes on a dramatic intensity. Overall, a great read from an author who is always able to eloquently portray her characters and setting.
review 2: This is a pretty dramatic tale - the life of a young woman born in India under British colonial rule. Pree is the daughter of English missionaries who falls on hard time when disaster strikes the fa... moremily. Her dearest friend is a young man named Kai who is involved in insurgent activities against British rule. But Kai deserts Pree who must resort to desperate means to make a new life for herself. While the premise sounds like the novel is a pot-boiler of epic proportions, this is a book you can happily become immersed in, hoping against hope that it will have a happy ending, and that Pree will find true love and a place to call home. less
