I avoided this book for the longest time because I feared it was overhyped for the sake of overhyping. But I shouldn't have, because it's very well deserved. In a lot of ways, it was magnificent. It was effortless to read and tough to put down. It's also been an incredibly long time since a book has bought me to tears, yet Seven Husbands had no problem; not once, but twice. This should be one on everyone's book list.
