I found this an intriguing read but thought the Beth in the beginning was a very different one from the Beth at the end. She was somewhat irritating with the intensity of her thought process as regards the unaged children and the strange behaviour of Flora, her reactions are highly emotional, yet once having made the decision to go to America she becomes a stronger almost different character. I loved the character of Zannah, but totally puzzled as to the incident at school with the racism accusation at the teacher. I can't work out why that was included. I thought at first that Lewis had kidnapped Zannah!
I got a little lost with the characters now and then, marriage partner confusion, people pretending to be someone else. To me it just needs a little tightening, a little more clarification.
I did enjoy it though - it was an unusual start. Not the fantasy I thought it would be.
