I heard the author speak on a panel, and it intrigued me to read the book. I am so glad that I did. It was well-written and well-researched.
I really enjoyed this story, and I learned a lot about Hansen's disease as the story progressed. Well done!
I recommend this story highly.

Interesting and informative, while being a heck of a novel. Characters were well developed and interesting. Not to be missed!
I read the paperback and listened to the audio book. The audio book was decent, but many mispronounced words (regional terms, cities, etc). Very slow start, but when the action picked up, it was a decent story. Nice character development. Enjoyed the accuracy of the historical background.
