Title: Not what I expected.
Review: After reading the book's summary, I was prepared for an evocative, lush, story that would draw me in with it's sensuality. But I felt very little sexuality in either of the characters, and less so in Hellenga's portrayal of the book and it's secrets. Although the technical description of book restoring was interesting I found the characters to be flat and difficult to identify with.
