Another superb tale by Marius Gabriel. Having enjoyed "The Original Sin," I was interested in sampling more of his work. Upon initially reading the cover flap, I wasn’t sure if I could get into this story of Francine, a woman who survives WWII experiences in southeast Asia but tragically loses her young daughter. I don’t have any special interest in war stories or Asia. However, any reservations I had disappeared as I was quickly sucked into the story. It’s sadly unfortunate that many of Marius Gabriel’s books are no longer in print.
