I have this book; started it and was having trouble getting into it for reasons I think had less to do with the book than where I was at the time I was reading it. Reading this gives me the motivation to put it back in the "to read" pile.

Ms Robinson wove various universal themes into a satisfying story. She's written several other books and now that you've reminded me how much I enjoyed her writing, I'm going to investigate them on my Kindle.
