I judged this book by its cover. I was so wrong! I avoided this book for a while, thinking it was a “dumb romance.” It was a romance, but there was nothing dumb about it. These characters were great. My favorite were the daughter and the dog. Rarely have I seen such a formidable child or personified dog as charming. Most of the women are wonderfully written, especially Elizabeth who is a force of nature because she refuses to compromise her integrity (the teacher was a piece of work!). Other great characters - the priest, the producer, and the journalist - all allies and converts. I’m so excited is being developed by Apple!
