Mary Wine has a creative imagination, her scenery is vivid with many details and thoughit the reader will feel compelled by the author to see everything from her view.  Ms Wine provides a background for this story that feels very real, although some of the description is a little tedious.  With Indian heritage being the focal point for this story, it gives you a glimpse into their possible lifestyle. 

The characters are well rounded to the point that this reviewer felt herself getting angry with both the heroine and hero over their stupidity and sheer stubbornness.  However the emotions are portrayed to where you tell yourself that the people in this story have enough emotion to be real. The land and people are described with such detail that it’s impossible not to believe they will one day exist.   

Though the language and sayings are a little hard to comprehend the overall English is easy for the reader to understand, with common phrases thrown into the story.
