Andy Musgrave andymusgrave — I enjoyed "The House At Riverton" for what it was -- an engaging summer read -- and this second novel is in the same vein. Almost disturbingly so -- note the considerable similarities in the jacket images, then discover that both books use the device of a dying woman looking back on her life, and construct some of the mystery by frequent changes in time and place -- in this case between 1908, 1913, 1975, and 2008.[return][return]Again the story and setting could be said to be derivative (Hodgson Burnett even makes a guest appearance in case you missed the reference!) but Morton makes up for it by her skills as a storyteller. It is a bit long-winded at times, and the jumping backwards and forwards can be irritating (I think this is about the 6th book in a row I've read that uses this device!) but once again she gets you involved in her characters' lives. [return][return]The little "plus" in this one is the inclusion of fairy stories written by Eliza, one of the key characters, in the early 20th century. They shed light both on Eliza's character and on events in the lives of the other characters, in a charming and unusual way. OK, there are times when things turn out a little too neatly (a long-lost and implausible letter revealing a part of the story that would have been impossible for the characters to discover otherwise, plus a few other convenient coincidences). It's easy to guess Nell's parentage by about two thirds of the way through, and the ending veers dangerously close to tweeness. But this book is all about escapism, not realism, and I think Morton is also deliberately introducing fairytale elements into her characters'lives -- she says in her afterword that the book is partly a tribute to the fairy stories she enjoyed as a child.[return][return]Basically this is just a good read, perfect for curling up by a log fire on a chilly winter night! But you need to be the type of reader who enjoys getting involved in a slow-moving and complex story.

Pedro Candeias pcandeias — Extremely thought provoking. This was required reading for my daughter before she started college. Definitely worth the time. I love this author.

Don Bencilao donbenci13 — By far, the best Pink Carnation book to date. Although the author begins with a story line that seems almost implausible, she somehow makes it work, to the delight of the reader/listener. This book has plenty of spies and danger for the action minded, but it still maintains the orginality and exquisite character development that is starting to feel like signature Willig. A must for any reader/listener.
