5.0

This book left me breathless. What an extraordinary imagination to invent such a realistic and yet so fantastical a character as Eleanor. It was exceedingly difficult to put down but you did so because the book demanded reflection. If you are greedy for books with heart and a psychological slant, then you, like me, would quickly and greedily pick it back up and let the story hurt and warm you at the same time until it ended. A quiet masterpiece!
