I really enjoyed this book. I do have to say that I didn't like it as much as the other two I have read by Morton, but it still kept me entranced until the end. I think the biggest difference was that this story's secret seemed a little more obvious to me that the other two. I had pretty solid ideas about the end and really, based on the premise, there were only so many places it could go. However, the characters were fantastic and very well written. And I LOVED that the fairy tales written by Eliza were incorporated into the book...scattered throughout as they became relevant. That was a wonderful device. All in all a very enjoyable summer read, but just not quite up to the level of The House at Riverton and The Secret Keeper.
