One thing I could say about this wonderful author is that all her novel are crafted greatly to become a part of you; all the character's pains, joy and everything become yours.
She creates lovable characters, a great plot, and an important moral.

However it is still a wonderful, charming book, that will remain in your heart long after you close it.
