“This is my second Patchett book and I found much of what I liked about the first: unusual curious characters and wonderful interior monologues. The unlikely plot did not trouble me. I was sufficiently believable and tension building to keep me interested.”
“I do like this book. There are a few other books that come to mind told from the vantage point of the various characters: Yellow Raft in Blue Water and During the Reign of the Queen of Persia. Check them out.Patchett's writing seems effortless, I would agree.”
