review 1: This saga of Dickensian proportions has so many twists, flashbacks, historical shifts that i felt it was risking plot burnout towards the end. No matter, it's very entertaining and intelligently written which makes it all very readable. I just wish whoever puts all these women with their back turned to the viewer on the covers would stop doing it and actually come up with a cover that's relevant to the story.
review 2: I enjoy the way this author writes. This book was VERY different from his first 2 books. Really about a lady with a high powered job and her aging mother who she puts in a home. Kind of sad, but also some very interesting details of the SA ango-boer war and a British concentration camp in Bloemfontein. A bit disturbing and a bit confusing - but v... moreery good! Well worth reading. If you want lighter reading try his other 2 books "The Drowning People" and "Us". less
