Comments: For a short novel, it took me a long time to read. The story was interesting, and I enjoyed reading about the Japanese-American interment camps during the 1940's, but much of the story dragged on for me. I expected there to be a little more magic found in Livvy's new ordinary life. I did enjoy the subtle love story, and the way she let herself fall in love with her new husband. I love the thought that sometimes we need to look a little closer to home to find what has been there all along. A good read, but not one I'll read again.
