Loved the writing style, though plot-wise not all that compelling. Definitely some twists at the end. Kind of like a marriage story though without the divorce.

This was a beautiful story. It really captures how people perceive their lives and even if you think you know someone, you actually don't/

Enjoyed the Furies more than the Fates. It was a definite relief to hear her side of the story.

A really terrific and beautifully written book. Leaves the reader full of angles to ponder.

Well...she wove a secret, beautiful magic full of thoughtful themes and social commentary.
Very interesting; a good read for youngsters I'd say, oddly enough as the book feels ancient & dusty in many ways.
The only problem is, for the number of lesbians that appear (and don't die!!!) in this book, I find it very hard to believe that this author is married to a man.

Horrible, is putting it lightly. I hate this book. I cannot finish it. I spent most of my day trying to read this but I can’t do it. I cannot finish this book. It is garbage! The authors uses brackets - who ever heard of using brackets to tell a story!
