I loved this book. Though the storyline was sometimes difficult to stomach, it is very beautifully written. The characters are extremely well developed. I hated David from about page 5 though I somewhat understood his motives. I found a high respect for Caroline and just felt sorry for Norah. The story fits well in it's time period and there are many little details that show that the author did her research. I couldn't put this book down and became emotionally invested in the story within a few pages.
