I was struck by the originality of the story and the writing of the author in the first part of the story but it fell like a souffle from the start of the village of the heroine and her children. Then everything is very long, slow, crowded descriptions which one understands nothing. The passages in the cave were not interested in no case hung me and suddenly I have not finished the book. I do not know the end, but who cares because I did not especially attached to the characters. It's a shame, I thought that the operation of the gift of sewing would be more interesting and more abundant (finally his gift does not serve him much ....). I did not really understand why and how, when the author wants it come? In addition, the gift is passed from mother to eldest daughter but I feel that the end more or less all the girls receive it (the daughter of Martirio why ??) In short, disappointment ...
