5.0

This is about the power of books.
15th Century Constantinople: Anna and Omeir
20th Century Indiana: Zeno and Seymour
The future: Konstance

I love all the timelines and the story of the book is connected. It was beautiful. 

I didn't love how Konstance's story ended. I wished more for her. 

The 15th Century timeline portrayed scenes of animal suffering that I skipped.
