This was just a brilliant novel that has every element of a best seller. I was totally engrossed in the story and found it hard to put the book down. It is so hard to try and capture the essence and the complexity of this novel in a review. I put this novel at the top of my most loved books of all time. A huge thank you to the author Jan Moran for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was absolutely amazing! All opinions expressed for this review are unbiased and entirely my own.
