My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ok I must say I have no clue about what went on in this book. At first I had a hard time getting into it, and I picked up and put it down several times. But I forced myself to finish it today. And I flew through it!
I know we are following 4 different people. All converging on the same area in Australia. Each with their own things to sort through. Of course. But it was brilliantly written! I loved each one of the characters, even Catherine. My favorite though was Pei Xing. I loved her spirit. I was named after Tonya in Dr. Zhivago so that drew me in even more.
I felt so deflated when James and Ellie were sitting at the table, I was begging James, TELL HER JUST DO IT! (Side note, one daughter of mine is named Ellie so I loved that too) I could feel their passion, their own pain about what happened between them. And James chickened out. Didn't know what to say. Dang it James!
Someone said all these people were depressed, but I didn't get that after reading through it more. Of course everyone struggles, but there were only moments.
Like I said, I am probably not one to be commenting on a book so deep, but from this reviewer's point of view, I loved EVERY single stinkin minute of this book and I am sad that it came to an end.
