I have not read it but my wife did for her book club and has told me I should. Sounds interesting and everyone I know that has read it has recommended it.

This is truly beautiful. Can't wait to find out where it is (so I can put it on my "places I need to visit" list).

A little too central of a crop for me. Very nice B*W conversion, nice range of tones
