Wow! I just finished this book. I couldn't put it down. I love the characters and the different timeframes. It is well written and the characters are interesting, deep and well developed. The author created a beautiful, and sometimes disturbing picture in my mind. It wasn't just words on a page but a moving and developing scene that read like a movie. Kudos to an author that can make a novel come to life. It would make an excellent movie and I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a little mystery, suspense and a touch of romance. I loved that it wasn't too much on the romance. It has a perfect balance of all genres and would appeal to different readers. A book club would have some interesting discussions. Enjoy this masterpiece!
