My thoughts on the book

This novel had me hooked from page one. It was so engrossing I read it in the space of one week. Set in a lot of suspense, it makes you want to keep reading because you want to figure out the secrets. It contains natural and flowing humor even from the descriptions. It is a fascinating book as it gives an insight into a polygamous household.
