The story starts a bit confusing, but such is the way when you're working with time travel. Each page is more poetic than the last and it picks up about halfway in. There were moments of incredible suspense and heartbreak, but I finished the last page with my arms covered in goosebumps and my cheeks streaked with tears. As my copy was a library book, I knew I had to get my own copy to read again and again (with lots of notes in the margins).
