A beautifully written story about a complex, and intriguing  family. It takes place over several decades, and as I read this sweetly written story you can feel the vibe of the eras (1930-70's approx) as well as the anxieties and successes of the family members, it is well worth reading!

Beautifully written, this is the story of a family torn apart by love and honour and how the two sisters find their way back to each other when faced with another tragedy. This is the first book by this author that I have read but I have already bought more by her. I love the descriptive passages that draws the reader into both the sensory and emotional worlds of the main characters. The story gives a tantalizing taste of Indian culture while also portraying family bonds and problems that may be universal. An absolute delight!

A wonderful story, beautifully written. You come to know the main character as an old friend as you read about his past and see his personality come to life in the present-day plot. As the story unfolds you can't help but appreciate the beauty found in relationships and sharing life with others.

This story was absolutely amazing. Beautifully written, the personalities were fleshed out and real. During some chapters I really felt like I was there.  I cried several times.

This is a lovely, beautifully written book. The plot has been reviewed here, I will not do that again.  The very talented author has created a hard, beautiful life in Alaska, but in addition has given us a magical story of love, devotion, belief in things not understood but made real by determination, devotion, hope, love...those things that are so difficult to maintain, when we feel forgotten, or missed by life. The characters are REAL in all the human way so many stories miss. I want to read more by this very talented author.  This is a wonderful, beautiful book I will read many times.

This was a very engaging book, beautifully written, in such a great descriptive style. This story goes back and forth between two different characters and the people that they are in contact with.  Marie-Laure a young blind girl from France, who lives with her father and Werner, a young German boy, an orphan who lives in an orphanage with his sister.
It is a story that works its way up and through World War II, but is more about the individuals than the war itself. We become very invested in these two and cannot wait to see what happens to them.
This story has a lot of good story lines, some which connect the two of them.
One feels the war and its impact through the choices the characters have to make, and the hardships that they have to endure.
