I vacillated between being very interested in the book (enjoying the 'mystery' and H/h interaction) and wondering where it was going (particularly toward the end). I wasn't convinced about Hannah - she had some pretty strange notions and confused ideas about strength and love. Her ponderings from the middle of the book through to the end didn't really add much to the story. One can see this must have been written in the eighties for her idea of self-destiny to be a resolution issue. In the end, it was just OK.
Hannah has inherited her Great Aunt's journals and house and is wondering what to do with them. Meanwhile Gideon Cage is about to take her brother's company down. When Hannah flees to the isolated island where her aunt lived she finds inspiration in the journals.
Fun and light read.
