I had to slog through the book-it did get a little more interesting at the last few pages. I almost said chapters but it didn't have chapters. I just could not get interested in the characters.

We all liked the language that Martin Davies uses and his descriptions. An unusal style of writing to go from the past and back. A few of us had to recheck a few times to be sure we knew which character we were on. Since most of us are "birders" is was very appropiate.

Our group ratecd this on a scale of 1-10 about 51/2 or 6. We wondered just what she is doing for the environment in her area. Also what are her brothers and sisters doing now. She is a very descriptive writer.
