Here’s what one reader said on Goodreads:

The novel is well written and easy on the eye . The unfolding drama keeps the reader’s attention. It is not just the surface story that draws one in but, also, the deeper philosophical points that the author makes. Perhaps above all – what does it mean to be a human being? A highly recommended book!
