WOW! This book is amazing! It is one of those rare books that is so compelling to read, the ending is sad because the reading is at a conclusion. This book is lovely, lyrical and moving without resorting to cheap tear-jerking tricks. This book is like a complex person: an onion of deepening layers, but this has a grounding core. I looked up many topics I was unfamiliar with and found many were grounded in truth including the rare white Seneca deer. I would love to share this with a mature audience who could relate to its themes of history, inter-generational relations, art, nature, and mysticism. Kim Edwards is best known for her book, The Memory Keeper's Daughter, but I so preferred the short story collection The Secrets of a Fire King, that I bought it to read to my husband. Kim Edwards is now my favorite current fiction author. I am glad she kept growing as a writer after her bestselling Memory Keeper's Daughter.
