Seller's Description:
Very Good condition book with a firm cover and clean pages. Shows normal use and some light wear or limited notes markings. A solid nice copy to enjoy.
Another book in which i was sad to realize was coming to an end. It left me wanting to know more, what else. The story is powerful. Excellent book.

Loved it
This is one of my all-time favorite books. Even though I seemingly had little in common with Ellen, the character still touched my heart. Tragic, yet heroic at the same time.
