  A glorious story written elegantly. I was enthralled by the larger-than-life characters.

  Enjoyed this book, but did find in parts the plot got a little lost. Felt like chore to get through, but was definitely worth the perseverance in the end.

  I like this author but I felt as though this book never really got going and I kept expecting a bigger storyline to emerge.
  
  The plot is quite elementary but I found myself not caring about the minute details as I got further into the book.
  
  Also, although taking place around the year 1900 the dialogue and goings-on feel very contemporary so very odd. The book was published in 1995 and it certainly feels more that era than the 1900s.
  
  I have another book by this author that I will read as I read "A Dark and Distant Shore" of hers which I very much liked but "Return of the Stranger" was a disappointment.

  I think the idea behind the plot was a good one, but it began to lag halfway through. For me, too many times books are too long to sustain the momentum of the original idea and fail because of that.
