Not an original storyline but, what a book. The writing and telling of this story is very good. The creation of such a sensual landscape is also a key aspect to why it is such a great read. I also really felt the river-deep conflict the main character faces in choosing between her husband and children and the man she was destined to love jumps off the page. You really feel it all.
