This book was an incredible read. I enjoyed this book from the first page and was instantly captivated by the story. It takes place in the 1960's when Scott Stoddard, a 23 year old graduate student from the US is leaving by ship to go to graduate school in Switzerland. After getting underway, he meets the Countess Desiree de Rovere, from France who he is smitten with! As for her Desiree is intrigued by him.
They run into each other again, and they fall in love, much to the disappointment of not only the Countess's mother, but Scott's parents as well. Desiree's ex-husband is insanely jealous. As they become very close, everyone seems to want to tear this couple apart! They have many differences, but nothing seems to matter to them.
This book is so well written, and the plot moves swiftly through the story. There is a lot of wonderful tender moments, as well as angst between too many others against their choice of each other. However as time goes by they fall madly in love.
Can so many differences between both their worlds keep them from getting together? The differences are many, including financial and religion. What will happen. You will have to read and find out!
I gave this book 5 Impossible stars and hope to read more by this author!
