Even though there were not a lot of characters or a lot going on, this was an absolutely fantastic book. There is suspense throughout just hoping that she'll be able to escape, that something will happen. A woman is captured by a man and it's all about her life there and her broken ankle. That sticks out to me. The pain from her ankle sounded absolutely awful. Of course, she falls pregnant. And then it's about protecting her baby from him. And the creepiest of all is that he names everyone Jane after his mother. So creepy. Great suspenseful book where you're just rooting for the main chracter to get out and be saved. I've heard great things about this author and I understand why and want to read the rest of his books! ( )

Loved it! One of the best books I've read in a long time. Couldn't put it down. ( )

I almost decided to stop reading this book early on, because of its difficult, disturbing story. But, it is so well done that I can fully recommend it, although with a warning that it may not be for everyone because of the nature of the story. The depiction of the protagonist's force of will was enough to keep me going throughout the book. ( )

What a Fantastic Book. It’s a real page turner. Be prepared to read in one sitting it’s that Good. ( )

A very quick, but emotionally draining read, about a woman kept prisoner by a man for seven years. Thanh Dao, a Vietnamese woman, has been kept against her will by Lenn. He calls her Jane, after his mother and first wife. "Jane" wants to escape, but is waiting until her sister, Kim-Ly can pay off her own debts, plus her foot is badly deformed and she has trouble walking. When she becomes pregnant, "Jane" is desperate to protect her baby at all costs.
This book is painful to read, but an important read. It details the danger of people trafficked and enslaved. It is frightening, but I rooted for "Jane" to overcome her situation. The writing makes you feel the anguish and desperation "Jane" feels. ( )
