I haven't read anything by this author. Reading the plot this seems like a very interesting book. After reading the first few pages, I think that this will be a book that I would enjoy a great amount. The characters seem to come alive on the page. I am curious to find out what happens to the main character, Dolly, and see if she is able to get her diamonds, and is able to open up the home that shes been thinking of the time she was in prison. This book definitely makes you want to keep reading.
