Blurb: Brightwood edition. "This book was meant to be read aloud, from the imagery of the New England storm to the lyrical prose and the scripted dialogue style. The premise of good versus evil- redemption, travail, love and loss, is told in a myriad of different styles of writing. It seems to be a type of book that people of the Victorian era would have read aloud, quite possibly performed live, and many of the strongest voices with in the story are the women. My reading companions and I thought this might have been somewhat irregular in that time of history. Beautiful language and a lot of food for thought even in this modern age."
