I enjoyed this book. It wove a spell for me into another world. The characters were intriguing and unusual. They were rather sad and I saw very little change and even less explanation for the way they were, even though Patchett presented them sympathetically. In a way, it made the book more realistic, because it is rare that we understand why people are the way they are and they change little over the years. I especially liked the wise old woman idea. She was friend, advisor and family to the main charaters.
