I love both of the covers for this book, and it sounds quite interesting, even if I still don't really have a feel as to what it's about.

I've read a few Alice Hoffman books. Isn't she the one who wrote "Practical Magic"??? I loved that one!

Ooh, two memes in one. Nice!
I'm not actually familiar with this author at all. Her book seems very interesting and I like her writing style. I think I've found a new author to check out!
