An enjoyable afternoon read- completely too predictable and neatly concluded, in the best way.

Such a wonderful story

This rating is worthy due to realistic life of the characters, misfortune, happy turnaround of good people in this story and what life will give in return.

It's a pipof a tale. You bet

Big fan and this is a good one yes it is. A few more twists than usual for his work.
