It is one i will definitely read again. At the heart is a taboo subject --- can you imagine how it must of come across back in its day? --- and expertly handled by Cain. Like you, i have not read a Cain book that I didn't thoroughly enjoy.<br />Another really good one: Love's Lovely Counterfeit.Frank Loosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564007564601986631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537120063567683385.post-39875124453802548052010-01-19T00:15:24.033-05:002010-01-19T00:15:24.033-05:00I have the book on my shelf.
