Title: Engaging characters, interesting plot-a good read
Review: I travel often to Oregon and my search for books set in that locale, led me to discover author Kate Wilhelm. I came to know Eugene, OR from this series and while actually visiting Eugene for the first time recently, read this novel. Barbara Holloway and the other ongoing characters in this series are engaging, believable and people you'd like to know. Wilhelm develops their character and lives in each book in this series and in her other novels, but each book can certainly be a stand-alone read. The plot in this book offered many twists and turns, as well as the journey of discovering the emotional and psychological insights into how the characters deal with the circumstances they find themselves in. Wilhelm always includes lots of local color and lore in all her writing which I feel enhances each book. As I said, a good, engaging read.
