"A page turner."
Osato Ora
"Unpredictable page-turn for sure. Easy read. She makes foreign ideas and vocabulary digestible. Plan on reading again this year."
Erika Mo
"This book was so good, at the beginning i was sceptical about if i would like it but it all came together and the author wove an amazing tale. I ended up empathizing with characters that i didnt like in the beginning of the book. This story about polygamy was not only fun at times but taught important lessons."
