Reviews
Rachel Scobee
excellent narrative novel concerning a maternal love.
Lisa Chicola
There is much food for thought here. It grabbed my attention and held on. I think I'd like to live in the society that put more emphasis on choosing the higher road.
Puzzled
A LibriVox Listener
The story was a little meandering and the ending was quite abrupt. Not my favourite Edith Wharton novel but the reader, Jacquerie, is superb. Thank you
