Couldn't put it down

I was very excited to find another book by Ms. Murphy, having enjoyed her "Stories in another language" years ago. Sea of Trees is a story told by a young lady while she is asleep and while she is awake. Sometimes it's hard to tell which is which. This is what makes the book hard to put down. I know I've made a good choice when I read a book that makes me keep asking what will happen now, will they survive, will she be alright? Ms. Murphy has yet to show all her writing talents. Can't wait for the next book
