Query: A novel filled with great characters

...and I should say a terrific use of time and space. I read this book this summer on the recommendation of a friend and I am now a certified Macleod fan. Claudia's turmoil and struggle with her inner self (what she sees in the mirror is not what or who she is inside) is handling perfectly by Macleod. The strangely narcissitic character of Dan, her husband is a well rounded study in matching image and human nature. When Claudia meets her black gardener after moving to the South, I feel that's when the story becomes even more interesting....a very enlightening read and compelling tale of society and its thoughts and judgements on everything from beauty to race.
