  • Definitely worth the time to read.

    I bought this book because I plan to send it to my friend who is a big reader. It's a wonderful, complicated story that goes back and forth between the present and the past, involves an aging Russian ballerina, a young antiques specialist and a professor of literature. With many twists and turns, you begin to see how all the pieces fit together, but there are still some surprises. A very satisfying debut novel.
