review 1: I have to say, another disappointment. Overall I was very interested in the storyline and I did think that the characters were fascinating and for the most part very well developed. That said, I think my biggest frustration was how long the book was and how much detail on things not really related to the story one had to wade through in order to get back to the main characters. In fact, when I realized that almost all the loose ends had been tied up, I was shocked to find that I was only 60% through the book. Therefore, in my opinion, 30-40% of the book could easily have been edited out with no real detraction to what the author was trying to do. I also was quite disappointed in the ending...again, all the stories I read do not have to be happily ever after books, but... more for this one, I felt let down in a big way.
review 2: This book was recommended to me by my aunts friend whilst on holiday with them. I downloaded it there and then at the restaurant and hurried to finish the book I was reading so I could make a start on it.At first I got a little confused with the timing swapping from present to past, but got my head round it in the end. I found it very interesting to learn about the different places she travelled to, to discover the history of her family, and the shawl. And also learning the little about how they make the shawls.As the story went on, I started seeing/guessing what was going to happen with the history of the two characters, but it didn't spoil the reading.Would definitely recommend this great read! less
