This was one of those books I wish I could have rated with a 4.5 - it wasn't quite a five star for me, simply because it took me 100 pages to really feel involved with the story. Partly that was because the confusion between memoir and novel, what was real and what was fiction, kept interrupting my involvement in the story. Goldman's prose was magical, so I kept reading, and eventually I didn't care what was "real" - since it all felt so real and vital. I took this book with me to read in Mexico, not knowing that much of the story was set in Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende, where I was staying. What a delicious coincidence that was. Despite being a slow start, this is a heartbreaking yet inspiring story, beautifully told. Read it.
This book was a great read. I liked the story-telling technique of using the letters to inform the reader of the past and have the daughter involved in her own adventure in the present. Well-written and enjoyable to read. Great for anyone who enjoys a mental adventure with a little horror thrown in.
