As a fan of SIT,I've wanted to read this book since I first heard of its existence and I wasn't disappointed. The author of this book is a longtime SIT devotee and his love for ,appreciation of and devotion to this story shines through on every page.I thought Mr.Gurness did an excellent job of getting inside Elise's head and exploring her grief, her independence, her strong spirit,her constant longing for Richard ,and her occasional fears that she was mad and had imagined the whole thing.(Who wouldn't fear that sometimes after such an experience?)The only fault I find is that if Elise burned all her diaries and any reference to that period in her life back in the 1930's,how would we,the reader,have known it existed to read it? Most fans including myself ,will likely be so happy to have another part to the story they won't mind this.Well done.
