I've been a fan of Maggie O'Farrell's since I read The Hand That First Held Mine. This book was hard to find although I did locate a copy via Alibris. Her characters are always beautifully drawn and this book is no exception. She spends time with each character and then brings them together in rather inventive ways. I highly recommend this book -- it is a great read.
