This is a fictional work that depicts contemporary US Quakers accurately, IMO!

But putting that aside, plot-wise it's a mystery/drama story. And it neither pulls any punches nor fails to expose character flaws to daylight.

It oozes and breathes COMPASSION and understanding for everything that's humanly possible.

Indifferent with this debut.  I didn’t like it nor did I dislike it.   I wanted to finish the book but at the same time it dragged and I wanted it to be over.   There were some gruesome scenes that weren’t necessary and prolonged animal death that I had to skip through.
