This book is amazing. I did not want to put it down. The size of each story is perfect. You wonder how the next story could be as intriguing and moving as the one you just read. With humility and wonder Dr. Rossbach describes some of the most personal and incredibly spiritual events of his patients. This book will encourage and challenge you in ways you least expect.

First off, I am an independent reviewer. This book has so many twists and turns that you never know where the author will take you.

It was an intriguing yet sensitive story that one becomes attached to the characters so deeply you feel you are right there watching the events unfold. I invite everyone to read this tale of mystery, taboo and growing pains.

very interesting, moving, and thought provoking - doesnt just dwell on the action, makes you think about the human response to all the challenges they face. One downer for me - way too much foul language. I could have used less of that. I know it happens, but this is a little excessive.

This book was so captivating that I read it straight through. It carried me along on its highs (no pun intended) and lows. I must admit that in several places, I found the narrative so touching that I wept. Here is a moving story of a life touched by grace.

This is such a touching story, showing the weakness in some women but also the strength in others under the most dufficult circumstances. The description of places is so intriguing you can almost smell the air, the spices, the sweat.  Don't rush trough this book it's so colorful and so much to absorb. Loved it

The story reaches out and touches you.  There were portions when I could't put it down.  The language is descriptive and draws you into the story.  The resolution is perhaps not what one would have anticipated but poses a question for the reader.

This book was very moving and engaging at the same time, full of action and emotion, amidst a well-done hard science fiction setting. Every character had depth, even the secondary ones, and they were faced with complex issues which usually had more than one answer. I commend the author for being able to convey all this in the form of a true page-turner, a book you would keep thinking about long after you are finished with it.

I find the early portion of this book somewhat slow moving, but I could not stop reading anyway!  It is fascinating how the author takes us inside the minds of so many people, and makes us feel sympathy for virtually all.  Many twists and turns and changes of thought, all culminating perfectly.  However, there are some loose ends still, which hopefully will be resolved with the next book.

This book is so interesting and moving. I could not put this one down. If you like history and a real glimpse at how life used to be mixed together with warfare, u-boats and politics not to mention all the real life characters, then this is the book for you.

A well-plotted, complex novel which draws the reader in with interesting characters, thought-provoking conversations, and unexpected twists. The subject matter goes far beyond the usual romance fare, and challenges one to consider just how far humans are willing to go to find "true" love, to seek revenge when that love is shattered, and, ultimately, to make the long journey toward healing and redemption. An excellent, moving book.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

From rainy Wales, the main character feels pulled by her ties to her homeland of Israel for many reasons.  The importance of her country to her is paramount throughout this book and the exploration of the complex relationship she has with it is fascinating.  Secrets from the past make her return journeys both fulfilling and difficult.  As she says, I always leave.  And now, perhaps, at last Israel is leaving me.  An exploration into religion and what it does to people, and also a life under scrutiny.  Enthralling and highly recommended.

I found this to be rich with layers and exquisite details.  It was so moving, so thoroughly engaging that I feel as though these characters are a part of me now.  I felt haunted by the ending; the sadness and the loss, the potential never realized: these have stayed with me.

The prose is superbly crafted: fresh, charming, inspired, honest.  It was a wonderful read.

Good movie, moving story.  I don't how much is piled on, but it was interesting and kept my attention.  Watched it more than once.

This book is one of those kind you can't put down. The story was very moving in many ways. Personally I had to bring out the tissues; there are ups and downs emotionally. Can you hear the music? is a MUST read. Loved it

This is a moving story, with intriguing twists and turns of a good mystery, all of which are believable.  At the same time it gives the reader an insider's view of today's China, something I knew little about.  My recommendation is to read it, enjoy it, and contemplate the realities of China's economic boom the dire consequences that come with economic achievement.
