Finally, I broke down and read it after she kept nagging and nagging and nagging me. WOW. It is an excellent book...well actually a story within a story ending with the redemption of the human spirit.

I recommend it as well. It is not a fast read, as it can be complicated when you are reading in first person voice (and the side story is in first person voice of another). Very image-filled and emotionally evocative.
i concur - it's one of those "someday ill read that one" books, but boy what a great read.
