review 1: Ok - so I liked the book, but I just keep getting stuck on the fact that it seems to minimalize immorality, because it makes a person "happy" or it all works out in the end {for some people and 50 years later}. I don't think that is what the author was necessarily going for, but it's what I took out of it. FYI - the intimacy was not detailed. There was a shocking twist towards the end of the book that I did not see coming, which I love.I really like her style of writing and the way a story from the past is woven into a present day story. I will still read other books by her.
