This book was, in my opinion, pretty forgettable. I don't say that to be mean, it's just me being honest. The author's writing style was ok, but not great. The story was easy-to-read, but not gripping. It's just one of those books that when you are done you go "eh" and move on. ( )

"...For me, this was much more than just a novel about a group of people who are thrown together by circumstance and set off to make a new life in a new land. This is a book about people finding themselves - discovering who they are as individuals, as well as who they are in the group, what their role is, if they have one. I enjoyed following along as each of them struggled in a way with these discoveries, some more than others...I get the feeling this is one of those books that not many people are going to know about, but that everyone should read at some point; the characters in it are not the only ones who might be able to pull something significant from the things they go through..."
