From page one I found it very difficult to put this book down. The characters are so real, the situations are tender, dramatic, heart-rending, everything you would expect to find in a good romance along with the interesting detail of the running of a bobbin mill and the art of forestry. Descriptions of the forest and its wildlife are visual and heart-warming. The book has a very unexpected twist in the story of Alena and Rob, the two main characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good read.
