Ok, but I prefer the "Roses".....
I discovered Jennifer Connelly's incredible writing talent with "The Tea Rose" and "The Winter Rose;" both novels have become favorites of mine which I always recommend to friends/family. When I saw this book, I had to get it, without reading what it was about, nor realizing it was written for a younger audience. Therefore, I was unprepared for the writing style which was so different from the "Rose" books, and did find it more gearer to a younger audience than my other two favorites of hers. I'm not saying it wasn't meant for adults as well, just that it didn't compare on a literary level to the two "Rose" novels. That being said, the book was indeed interesting and I recommend it, with the caveat not to compare it to the "Rose" novels.
