I'm not an opera lover (or even liker), but it really is just a starting point for these characters. She opens with a two-page synopsis of the opera, and that was plenty for me to jump right in!nomadreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795144320842413060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-75459561609238371032012-04-17T14:54:34.331-04:002012-04-17T14:54:34.331-04:00Yes--the layers were so interesting!

She tackled a lot in this novel, and I was glad Benji got to grow up rather quickly because the farm life was rather depressing.nomadreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795144320842413060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-68048869060218102892012-04-17T14:53:54.842-04:002012-04-17T14:53:54.842-04:00I'm so glad to hear you picked up a copy!

The mood was great -- dark and sad and tragic but not, like, miserable (even though it *was* miserable, too!) -- Davis-Gardner's writing style was wonderful, her characters great, and I loved that this was a novel about rural America, women in the late 19th century, and Japan in that era as well -- layered hist fic is a favorite.Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-22682612996553728132012-04-17T11:07:57.779-04:002012-04-17T11:07:57.779-04:00I just grabbed this one on audio, and can't wa...I just grabbed this one on audio, and can't wait to get started with it!
