This was in a bag of books my sister shared with me. The title rang a bell for me. I started reading it today, and right away remembered that I actually did read this book many years ago, probably in the mid 1990s. I can't recall every last detail of the book, but I do remember I enjoyed it very much. I'm tempted to read it again, but I have strict rules about not reading books twice when there are still so many books in my "to be read" pile.

The fact that I like it so much tells me that this is probably a dark, gloomy, and morose book. It's always those kinds of tragic stories that draw me in and captivate me. So, if that type of story really turns you off this may not be the book for you. If not, then I highly recommend this great book.
