Hmmm, what to say about this one? I was intrigued by the book description of a modern day version of Jane Eyre and was, actually, pleased with the first half of the book. But once Gemma left Claypoole, the book started to lose its charm. Mr. Sinclair's "secret" was a disappointment, as was the rest of the book. It was way, way too long and it suffered greatly from comparisans to Jane Eyre, probably one of my favorite books of all time. I hated the ending, and although Ms. Livesey writes very well, I wouldn't recommend.
