I was looking forward to reading this book and felt really captivated In the first few chapters, the characters are interesting and with the added twist of the difference in languages.....however I lost interest halfway through the book.i did try to keep reading but couldn't find it in me to continue, just not for me. This won't deter me from trying other books from the same writer in the future just not my time now. I will pass the book on to my family who I'm sure will enjoy this book. I find I enjoy more historical books more enjoyable...........I do look forward to trying new authors and genres of books as they say if you don't try then you will never know. So in short this was not for me
