I thoroughly enjoyed reading this engaging story. It brings to the forefront wonderful Greek mythology - with a new twist. The original storytelling and surprising plot will keep readers engaged, even if Greek mythology "isn't your thing." As a debut novel, Jennifer Saint's …more demonstrates strong creativity and imagination. I hope this is the first of many superb novels authored by her! (less)

If you enjoy historical fiction, I highly recommend this book. The plot of the book quickly engages and keeps you turning the pages. For me, much of the historical information was new and opened my eyes to an aspect of the Civil War that does not receive much attention. It …more is on my highly recommended list for my friends!

I enjoyed this book. While the characters in the story are a bit one-dimensional, the relationships and interactions make the story come alive. Meri's naïveté, particularle after 20 years of marriage, doesn't match her intelligence. Yet the story reflects that all of us …more make choices, and often our choices have unexpected and far-reaching consequences.

I also enjoyed the science and history reflected throughout the book. While fictional, it is an educational and accurate portrayal.

I highly recommend this book for women's book clubs, as it will foster a lively and thoughtful discussion about the choices we all have made. The book is not appropriate for high school groups, due the several more graphic passage.

The book is now on my "recommended" list! (less)
