Saffron Skies
this is an international book of the month
I hesitated spending money on a hard-cover book by an author I'd never heard of, but the price was well worth it. This is one of the best books I've read in a long while. I've passed it on to several friends, and they've loved it, too. When I first saw how thick the book was (over 600 pages), I didn't know if I'd get through the whole thing, but I couldn't put it down. I'm looking forward to Ms. Lokko's next tale
This book is 600 pages but it reads very easy and quick!
The book reads very easy- in each chapter you read about all three main characters in separate little paragraphs, so you are kept completely upto date with each character as the story unfolds.
The story spans a time of 40 years with three main characters, Amber, Becky and Madeline. Amber is the daughter of a very wealthy man who escaped Nazi Germany during the war. Becky is from "plain" American folks, and befriends Amber, Amber loves Becky's home and Mother because she is the mothering loving Mother that Amber does not have at home. Her mother is an alcholic that drinks herself into a deep sleep.
Madeline is also from a war torn european country that is suffering from a war about religion. She also befriends Amber and Becky.
Like I said the book is over 600 pages but it read very quickly and it was extremely enjoyable!
I recommend this to everyone!
this is a book club edition in very good to excellent shape
