A popular author for sure, but I really disliked this book, which I admit to not finishing. Hard to finish a book where there isn't a SINGLE character that I like. It is gimmicky and predictable, so very predictable. The modern day heroine thinks the man is married, and when he tries to explain that he isn't, she cuts him off...the grandmother tries to tell her but she cuts her off with an insult. We know where this is going. So overdone. How realistic is a 99 year old woman hopping a transatlantic flight from Paris to "pick up" her granddaughter with a terse, "Pack. We are going back to Paris." The history isn't even fulfilling. Enough said.
