This does sound interesting and it's fascinating to see how the past affects the present. I'm curious about Trudy's and Anna's stories so this is definitely going on my TBR. I do wish the ending was a little less open ended. I like some resolution in my stories - especially in such an emotionally charged read as this.Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-90116482346506599682017-08-18T18:49:04.663-07:002017-08-18T18:49:04.663-07:00Ellen - I can understand that.

I'd definitely prefer to have a clear closure in the end and while some books work with an open ended closure, I'd like to have a definite resolution in books like this one. Thanks for bringing this book to our attention, Wendy.

I prefer more tied up conclusions, but maybe that uncomfortable feeling about the resolution is part of what keeps the book on your mind.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-70398769955759744232017-08-17T04:06:14.877-07:002017-08-17T04:06:14.877-07:00This sounds excellent, though the open end is givi...This sounds excellent, though the open end is giving me pause.
