Ratings and reviews

I just love Rosanne's books and this one was no exception. Her main characters are awesome. Their story is filled with grief, hardship, adventure and, most of all, love. Her detailed descriptions of the country and it's history makes you feel part of the story.

Very interesting and it sounds like an incredible journey
