Customer Review: I just finished reading 'Heretic's Daughter'. I was blown away by this book. It is deeply sad and touching; what a horrible period of time in our nation's history. But the author has a wonderful gift with words; her descriptions truly made me feel as though I was there. She never repeated the same... more info
Customer Review: The above reviews give you a good idea of the novel, so I'll tell you why I rated it only two stars. I didn't feel like I got to know the "Danish girl," Einer, the girl captured in the body of a boy.

It's incredibly engrossing. I couldn't put it down from the minute I started. I even took it on the treadmill with me. I hate working... more info
