Read a Good Book Lately? : Mistress of the Sun By Sandra Gulland by Semira Chan

Based on true events, the way this author constructed this story was amazing. She weaved us into the life of this young girl without us even realizing or feeling like she was - by the end of the story I felt like I had lived this woman's life. Truly heart wrenching and emotional. She evoked emotion without it being overpowering. So subtle and effective.
