The storyline was flawed, the two main characters, Yasha and Frances live in Brooklyn USA. Frances decides to take up an artist apprenticeship and Yasha decides to fulfil his father's last wish... what are the chances of meeting someone in the remotest part of the world, that came from just around the corner. The author's writing style was fast paced and at times a bit manic. It made it difficult to invest in the story of the characters. Being set for most of the story at the "top of the world" I would have liked to escape into the world of the story through its idyllic description of the scenery, which really was lacking. Its a first novel for this author, Rebecca Dinerstein, and I won't be revisiting this author anytime soon.
