Set in the remote woods of Pennsylvania's Blue Ridge Mountains, this book centers on a young woman who has secluded herself from the world to recover from a past trauma. A foreigner mysteriously shows up in the area; he also seems traumatized and haunted by his past. Although their lives seem as bleak as the winter woods setting, a mutual understanding creates a tenuous friendship between them. Disturbing truths revealed at the end were difficult to fathom and highlighted the extent to which humans can hurt each other. I was absorbed by this book; it wasn't a joyful read but was worthwhile.

This was a brutal portrayal of life in the Italian courts in the 1500's when daughters were groomed to be acceptable matches for other high-powered men. The main character is smart and wily but deeply hampered by her circumstances. There is redemption at the end of the book and, after reading, I was very grateful not to live in that era!

Very funny and also good facts

I loved learning about the planets.
