" Kelly] Link's stories . . . play in a place few writers go, a netherworld between literature and fantasy, Alice Munro and J. K. Rowling, and Link finds truths there that most authors wouldn't dare touch."--Lev Grossman, Time "She is unique and should be declared a national treasure."--Neil Gaiman "Funny, scary, surprising and powerfully moving within the span of a single story or even a single sentence."--Karen Russell, The Miami Herald "This is what certain readers live for: fiction that makes the world instead of merely mimicking it."--Audrey Niffenegger " These] exquisite stories mix the aggravations and epiphanies of everyday life with the stuff that legends, dreams and nightmares are made of."--Laura Miller, Salon, Best Books of the Decade "A major talent . . . Like George Saunders, Link] can't dismiss the hidden things that tap on our windows at night."--The Boston Globe "The most darkly playful voice in American fiction."--Michael Chabon "I think she is the most impressive writer of her generation."--Peter Straub "Link's world is one to savor.

Keeps great time
This is actually prettier than I thought it would be and I am tough on everything I wear. Never know what the day will entail, so when I clean it at the end of the day, it’s pretty shine comes right back.
I’m pleased with it.

Very hard to see the HANDS, but pretty
Very pretty and I didn't have to remove links. Hard to see the hands unless you angle it in the light. I'm not sure if I'll keep it. I'll give it some time ..lol and see how it goes before Amazon's 30 day policy.

just makes it around my large wrist - but very pretty
If you also have a large wrist like I do, well ... try it out. Bought it to look delicate and pretty at my son's wedding, to match color of gown. Which it does.
Side note: the hands are cobalt blue, for some reason! But you'd have to look up close to discover that. It doesn't take away from the overall look I wanted.
Edit: !@#$@! - it BROKE halfway through the wedding! During the dancing, I discovered it on the floor.
Downgrading this to one star, of course.

DIdn't Work
When I got the watch, it wasn't running, so I took it to a local jewelry store and had the battery replaced, which cost another $20+ and it still wouldn't run.
