by Dianna Wynne Jones
This book was rather slow to get into, but once you struggle through the first half of it, you will be captivated by the last.
My mistake in reading this may have been that I watched the movie first. The movie was good. Although it was definitely much less complicated and left out a lot from the novel. So be warned, if you've seen the movie, expect a lot more things in the novel. And the changes between the two mediums aren't bad in my opinion (although, of course the novel is better).
This romantic storyline is changed up a bit, the family of Sophie is also changed (and in my opinion for the better) and has a lot more involvement. There's also an interesting twist kinda plot nugget (of gold) that is definitely different than the movie that might actually come as a surprise.
With this novel, Jones has again written a beautiful piece of work and again captivated me, personally.
Definitely read the rest of her novels if you haven't already.
A must-read!
