The sense of time and place is perfectly evoked, the characters are fully realised and utterly believable, and the plot is woven with a finesse that almost defies description. <\/p>\n<p>To read this book is to blindfold yourself, stretch out your hand and place yourself in the hands of a master, to trust that whatever mistakes you make, whatever certainties you have that are crushed under the weight of her tale, you will get there in the end.
