Because I have company, I haven't had much daytime reading time, so I have lost quite a bit of sleep reading this wonderfully written book late at night. I can't wait to finish it, and yet I don't want to finish it. It's that good. I am savoring the words and the stories. One of the best reads I've had for quite a while. I don't want it to end.
