Profile Image for Miss Soul

Richly written and narrated.

The lineage of this book - the flow of the bloodline of the charaters, both apparent and not, is written purposefully and dynamically. For me, my imagination revelled in the artistry of the storytelling over the clearly defined times lines and, I very thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book each chance I got.

I've been left wanting more from each of the main characters. Questions I want answered, and the rest of their stories written.

Great book with thoughtful personal nuisances from the author.
