I couldn't put this book down - I read it in the back of an overland truck whilst on safari in Africa. It soon got passed around the whole group and becoming the most popular read the entire trip.

This book is now my favorite book. The intimacy between Bram and Modoc is something we all yearn for in our own relationships. I completely adored the story.
