Sung J. Woo – thanks for quoting my review on your blog.

J. T. – Yes, it makes me realize how lost I would be in a foreign culture; I’ve got to travel more, and not just thru books!

Literary Feline - I love that Early Reviews program at LibraryThing. It's like a prize in a Cracker Jack box when you get picked. Kathy - I read it months ago and just put a short review on LT at the time. It really deserves a longer/fulller review (but it was hard to remember the details after so much time ... lesson learned) Erin - yes, I recommend it! Thanks for the heads-up about the link ... softdrink - look for this one, and tell me what you think! carol - I enjoyed it. Only a year in the characters' lives, but very full!
