This book was amazing. Seriously, wonderful. The story takes place between 1900 & 2005. It skips back and forth between different time periods, and different characters. It dips in and out of story lines, effortlessly. And what you end up with, in the end, is an entire history of how everyone is connected. I fell in love with certain characters and didn't want the book to end. The overall premise is a bit sad, but the basic undertone of the book is one of love and longing to belong.
I don't often keep books. I prefer to pass them along so they can be enjoyed by many others. But I'm not getting rid of this one. I just can't. It feels like a beloved friend, someone I've known my whole life. I am adding other Kate Morton books to my wishlist in the hopes that they are similarly written and will be equally loved.
This one had 549 pages.
Sounds really good! Hopefully my library has it.
