this is the best book ever

Everything - every young woman needs to read it, it’s a disservice to yourself not to.

This book opened the door for me into Sufi mysticism. The relationship between Shams and Rumi raised interesting questions about love, ego, friendship, and transformation. I also enjoyed how relatable the characters felt, despite living in a completely different time and culture. Their struggles and emotions felt very real and very human. More than a hint of magical realism too, which always works for me. Despite the challenges and tragedies in the story, it left me with a sense of joy and optimism and wanting to learn more about the spiritual ideas and themes the book explores.

The history is really interesting - first sci-fi but it’s still quite easy to read and I just love how it’s written

its a thrill to taken back in time to the U.S.A.

A beautiful retelling of the story of Aphrodite, painting her as more than just the goddess of love, but as a complex and fascinating individual with a tragic history.

Great science fiction that I have read many times. It was the first book that really wowed me when I was in my teens. I loved Nancy Drew mysteries and still remember fondly Cider with Rosie by Laurie Lee which I did for O- Level. Stephen King's Dark Tower series are also in my top 10 books.

Mystery with lots of twists and a science fiction element that keeps you on your toes right to the final page.

Set in America during the Great Depression, whilst maybe sounding dull it’s so well written with great characters and story
