Review of the novel by Betsy Woodman

Like meeting an old friend and starting a conversation that feels like a continuation of the last one, no matter how long ago that was.

This is part two of a trilogy. I look forward to reading the third, “Emeralds Included.”

p. 116
“It combines the exotic, the familiar, and the comfortable.”

p. 78
“Jana opened her eyes and waved across the street to Royal Tailors, where Feroze Ali Khan’s cousins were busily stitching away inside, listening to the radio as they worked.

“She loved this street, this bazaar, this mountainside, this part of the world. Certainly, there were other places with mountain views. There were other places with friendly neighbors and peaceful little marketplaces. But somehow, fate had drawn her here and it felt right, and even if it seemed a bit daft, as her son sometimes said, it was daft in the right way. It was her sort of daftness.”
