Mary of Kivu Reviews
-
A really excellent, enjoyable, fascinating book with a fresh and brilliant angle on an old story. It has a gripping narrative, realistic and sympathetic characters, and just an overall excellent sense of story--I read it almost straight through, it was hard to put down. I highly recommend it.
-

-
What a beautifully written book. Thank you.
