A very clever story line, somewhat reminiscent of The Time Travelers wife. I found some of the characters in 'present day' just ever so slightly shallow/annoying. Max's tendency to refer to Shelly as 'luv' got on my nerves, not so much that he said it, but how the author spelled it. Sometimes it was like a 1966 Tiger Beat magazine article about British bands.This book is a combination of historical fiction/romance/fantasy.
Wow! This book is an exhilarating journey! One of the best books I have ever read. It is several stories through time woven into one story of a lifetime. I felt as though I was touring Europe off the beaten path to places with a rich history I was privy to. It is an experience I savored. If you need a vacation or an escape for awhile, this book will take you. Unique and amazing! A keeper I will want to experience again!
