I'm still not sure what I think about this book. I liked it, but whether I liked it as much as I think I should have done is another question. It was certainly evocative of a certain place and time, and it was fun to read about the island, but jesus, Sophia got on my nerves!

This was one of the books that was in the Jiffy bag book ring when I received it . I have taken it to be my prize for winning the April/May Smile Day. Thank you - I don't think I've read this author before so it will be something different to try.
I finished this bok a few days ago.I have rated it a 5 as though it was an easy read and the descriptions well written. I found it only average for enjoyment.

Picked it up at the BCUK Unconvention 2009, thank you! :-)
This was fairly enjoyable, I really liked the description of the Scandinavian summer and the various images of the island. Did not find it as gripping though, and had a bit of a problem getting back to it after I left it for a few days.
Will pass it on to a couple of fellow bookcrossers who might be interested in reading it.
