review 1: 2 1/2 stars. FATE...Do you believe in fate? Eliza left Charleston, S.C. 10 yrs ago and now works in London at an art historian. She leaves England to return to Charleston. Do Charleston and an old boyfriend, Henry, still tug at her heart? How does her art history background play into their relationship? A predictable story than was just OK. The book was recommended by USAToday as a summer/fall book selection.
review 2: Wow. I picked this book up because of the beautiful cover but didn't have many expectations because I'd never heard about it. I'm so glad I got it. It is a mature fairy tale with the happy ending in the middle of the book. I read the second half of the book wondering where we were headed and never knew until we got there. The writing is excellen
... moret - very unique pacing. It is languid just like Charleston. less

Among the most well written works of true literary fiction that I have read in a long while. It is much deeper and richer than implied by its' cover.

I read half. I got bored. The scenery is nice and the writing is fine, but it just isn't my speed.

1.5 stars. Lacking in character development, lots of telling, no show. Very disappointing.

Good story line, but it didn't flow well. At times it felt rushed, other times very slow.

Good beach read, especially liked the setting in and around Charleston.
