This book is a mixed review for me. The story was well told and well written. The weaving between lives, cultures, and dates was flawless. I loved the setting of Burma and how different this is than other novels. The character development was fine.
The story is about a New York father who disappears, leaving his family behind. Julia, his daughter who just graduated from Law School decides to follow the small trail he left behind. That leads her to Burma.
The story, characters, and style of writing was good. It's a page turner to see what happened. However, it's the message underneath the words that left me with a sad taste of the book.
The moral of this novel is to follow love at all costs. To do what feels right regardless of whom else it may hurt. To make others pay for your poor choices in your earlier life.
All that being said, I'd still recommend the book. Just reader beware of the deeper issues throughout.
