I really enjoyed this book. It is a little strange in the way that it is written. The story circles around a book that was written some time ago. Is it fiction or is it real? You need to keep reading to find out. Strange twists. I would recommend this to someone who wants a different read. This author writes a good story.
I think I read this one in record time. Storyline is full of discoveries, coincidences, lies, and very human emotions.
There are two elderly men who have a tenuous thread between them ... a book about a little girl who appears out of nowhere with a horrible story of where she's been and a blackflower, who the girl says is her friend, Jane.
This story could be true ... or the product of a vivid imagination. Two people are looking for the truth ... trying to figure out who they are and how they got to where they are.
It's a journey filled with doubts. What would you do if you found out your father was a serial killer long after he was dead? What if you found out someone is still alive who should be dead ... and another who should be dead that isn't?
The book bounces back forth in time (30 years) but its done in a way that is not confusing. I had fun trying to take the strands and figure out exactly what had happened in the past and changed the future. And the ending wasn't anything I saw coming.
I gave it 5 stars ..... and I think I have another favorite author.

I put off reading this book because I had several other books that I wanted to read first. I'm sorry I waited. It moved quickly and was an interesting read with just enough complexity to keep me interested. I went back and have added more of his books to my wish list. I hate when reviewers tell me too much about a book. I hope this is helpful.
