This was the first book by Maguire that I had read. (I was interested to read Wicked, but couldn’t get hold of it at the Library). I quite enjoyed it… the story kept my interest, the setting is described in a way that provides a strong sense of place and it was easy to build a relationship with the main character because the story was largely told through her eyes.

I loved the writing style of Gregory Maguire in this book. I really liked Wicked and Son of a Witch, but I fell in love with this one! I literally could not put it down. Every spare second that I had I was reading it. I highly recommend it!
