5.0

A single story told from two points in time about 100 years apart.  Very well written, I could feel the heart ache.

Not to distract from the rest of the story line, but so much of this is about the actions of a psychopath, the fall out from those actions, and the victims who are trying to heal.

This book was about everything I love about a book—the magical power to take you somewhere else. It was beautiful and a book that I will recommend over and over again and give out as gifts. 

If I could give more than 5⭐️ I would. This one is tied with one other as my favorite book.
