Deborah Moggach has such an ability to be able to weave separate storylines in and out of each other and still maintain a coherent story. I was a little confused in the beginning at the Prologue wondering why it was there when it seemed to have nothing to do with the storylines when lo and behold, a couple of characters popped up way in the last part of the book as minor characters. She is so good at that.
This time the main locations
the story takes us to are London, England; Beijing, China; White Springs, Texas;
and Assenonga, West Africa. Now if THAT
is not enough to already pique your interest, I do not know what can. Moggach, the magic story weaver, takes us on
a journey to have all of the paths of these characters from these locations
cross several times, sometimes unknowingly, and sometimes quite vividly.
Love, money and ageing do
strange things to people and those they love and nowhere is that more apparent
than this delightful novel.
