I've been watching this book since I first saw it on Goodreads and the release date can't come soon enough. It has everything I look for in a book to make it a great reading experience. The historical piece is always what I look for. I love to learn something about the past when I read. The fact that it touches on more than one period is a plus. A book where someone reminisces provides great character development which always makes the storyline solid and flow well. The added bonus of family issues and a lost love make it a perfect choice. It appears to be the perfect read.
