It sounds like City of Lights was that kind of book for you. <br /><br />Isn't it amazing when an author can take you into a different world and make you feel as if you were there at that time and place, walking beside the characters as they moved through their lives? I love books that do this:~)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995684156785464334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-34769212644232960342014-03-06T11:03:24.551-05:002014-03-06T11:03:24.551-05:00This sounds really good!This sounds really good!Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-67154071974449455302014-03-05T10:00:42.360-05:002014-03-05T10:00:42.360-05:00There are very few books that are as immersive for...There are very few books that are as immersive for me as this one was--possibly in all my life of reading by this time thousands of books, only twenty or so. This would be among my top ten. I agree with your five stars, even though I did not identify with the heroine--I still found her a sympathetic and complex character, and admired the way the author was able to make me care deeply about her and the events of her life, despite not agreeing with her many times. Excellent review, Shay, as always.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-90010641461521981752014-03-05T05:31:26.796-05:002014-03-05T05:31:26.796-05:00A novel that earned the coveted "Shay's F...A novel that earned the coveted "Shay's Fifth Star" must be incredible. <br /><br />I'll have to check it out...Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.com
