The story is beautifully written, and Patchett's characters are exceptional. The story begins when the narrator is a child, and events occur that leave both the narrator and the reader with questions. We are rewarded with answers as the story unfurls, but Patchett leaves just the right amount of mystery. - Mary Lou
A Cinderella story set in Mexico in the 1920s featuring Mayan gods and a plucky heroine. - Mary B.
