Love, love, love dual story lines, and am super intrigued after reading the blurb of this book. I am also a big fan of conversation-filled novels, so this first chapter already had me loving this one. The conversation among friends all gathered around for Sunday dinner really started this novel off well and set the tone for things. Loved it. Chapter Two was the same -- excellent description of scenery and great conversation to move the plot along already. Looking forward to reading this one!
