This book was highly recommended to me by my mother. In going through our family library, in an effort to reduce the number of books we have at home, I decided to finally read it. I have made it as far as Act 2 and am putting it aside for now. It's a good enough book, but I'm itching for a

different type of read at the moment. Will come back to this, I hope, someday.
