Mara V. (maraku) reviewed on 8/5/2009 + 6 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

The author has written about a world of pain, with abuse of alcohol and the subsequent abuse of people. It would hurt almost too much to read this if not for the beauty of her words. The fear and anguish is relieved by descriptions of great beauty with powerful words strung like pearls. The battles in the book is between dreams and what her mother perceives as the "real world." The hero's task is finding another way of life, a place with trouble and great kindness that exists somewhere in the middle.
