I really enjoyed this book. Very twisty and kept you guessing all the way through. Ending was very unexpected.

Sona learns to accept herself, a woman of two cultures, by befriending a famous painter. Sona honors her friend's final wishes, traveling the world. Sona makes peace with herself, her past and the new life she creates as she moves forward.

Found it interesting the comparison between the great grandmother, who had a stroke, and the great grandson, who was artistic and nonverbal how they managed to communicate with each other with the use of an iPad, and how the great grandmothers story from her childhood in Poland during the World War II unfolds

This is the second time I read this book and I enjoyed it just as much the second time, picking up parts of the story more intensely this time. This is a perfect story of 2 generations who are in need of each other and who come together in the best way possible. While each of the 3 central living characters (and I have to include living as one character who feature prominently is deceased) has their challenges, they come together to help one another perfectly, even if for some the motivation may be selfish. This is a story that will touch your heart.

This book follows the 2 daughters of the man who was responsible for people seated on the throne of England in the 1400's. It follows the 2 girls through their lives and does a beautiful job of following their changing view of the position of Queen from their childhood until their death. It is a wonderful, albeit at times a grim, look at the life of powerful women during that time period.

After a man uncovers something sinister at work, he disappears, and then is presumed dead, leaving his girlfriend behind. When she receives a text from him, five years later, she investigates the situation.

This is the story of a woman and her ex-lover who wind up running for governor at the same time. It’s wonderfully done, mixing the story with present day natation and that of the past. It also tells the story from both protagonists’ point of view. And there is so much more to this story than first appears, and even when you think you have the whole story a whole other layer appears. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Some fascinating accounts of a con artist. I would have loved a little more psychological insight into how someone can pull off such an act like this person did. Accounts of his earlier life are painfully missing. But there are some details about the person's life that really are quite amazing that the author could have put all this research together.

This is a good old fashioned detective story where women were “dames” and were “notin but trouble”. The language is fun and the central character is the grounding influence here as everyone else in the story is either crazy or a killer…..and one is both.

Interesting premise family with very sick daughter genetically engineered another child to be born with a genetic material to save the first daughter’s life. Who are we to play God and play with biology like this
