This is a unique twist on a faire tale. Ten Fingers Touching is a more grown up version of a fairy tale. More geared towards women. It focuses on Marianna and Martak. A young couple that against odds, shows that true love does exist and happy endings can come true. There is no big scary moments, despite Martak encountering a three headed sea serpent. The chapters are short and not clustered with lots of wording. Sometimes simple is best. Which is what the author did and what I really enjoyed about this book. Also, the illustrations were wonderful. They just came alive and really brought the story to life. I would catch myself at times just staring at the pictures and would have to go back and pick up again where I left off on the page. If you are into fairy tales and love stories then you should pick up a copy of this book today. This book is a treasure. ( )
