The premise of this book so unusual, and the first few chapters had me hooked, but then I felt it got bogged down in the story of the enigmatic fortune (or misfortune) teller, and skimmed past the individuals who’s lives she’d touched. I’d have preferred more of a balance between the two. As it was I started to lose interest as the book progressed. Although in fairness it rallied, and I really loved the ending.
