I have to start by saying that I found this book very compelling. Each of the characters represented a different frame of mind and personality. They were all distinctly different and all of them were believable. They were brought to life so well in the book that it felt like the happenings in the book were not out of the ordinary. I especially loved how the plot was unique and cleverly thought out. Each twist and turn was countered by a historical moment related to the main character’s ancestor. The author created suspense by gradually unraveling the story so that there was a harmonious balance of drama and portrayal. He left you turning the page until the end until which then everything made sense. I really enjoyed this book and it left me desiring more. I think that because this is a detailed but simple book, it should be the foundation stone for excellent story writing in many.
