Lovely, enchanting, gripping, and well-written. This is the 2nd book I've read by Allen, and it did not disappoint. Her writing is like being wrapped in a lovingly and skillfully pieced quilt. It is sweet and touching without being saccharine, yet she manages to touch on serious issues. I just love how she can tell the stories of several characters so well - the book is full of interesting stories running simultaneously but it doesn't seem crowded, confused, or choppy. I read the entire thing in one sitting because I just could not put it down and I am looking forward to reading more from this author!
