A Time to Tell is a great book. The story is multi-faceted: part mystery, part love story, part psychological thriller. I loved the swift touch Savva seemed to have with her scenes, painting them in soft, wide strokes that caused this reader to feel comfortable to lose myself in the scene without being over-burdened by detail or under-burdened by sloppy writing.
The only minor complaint I had was with the perspective shifts. When visiting Cara's past, we're in italics, and thrust as though into a memory, which sometimes add a sense of urgency, but I found it slightly distracting to the telling of this tale. All in all, a great book though, one that makes me want to read more of this writer.
