Love this author. I had a hard time finding a place to stop and put the book down which made it end way to soon for me. The settings of the Hawaiian hillsides and South Africa were beautiful, a place where curses were cast, many secrets were kept, and death and love surround a hurting family. I enjoyed the characters, they were true to life, sometimes likeable, sometimes no so much. Story leaves much to ponder on when you are finished. I liked this novel alot.
