The main character, Ylfa, I found unlikeable ( her sister Ellen, more so) at the start but she grew on me and by the end I cared about her and her dysfunctional lovelife and broken family. The plot developed logically and enough hints were intertwined throughout for the ending to be 'right'. A love of horses came across strongly. They seemed nicer that the humans. A very good read and I'll keep an eye out for Nicol's second novel.Jeannie McLeannoreply@blogger.com
