Great book. A page turning, interesting story over a 20 year + history. The characters were all very interesting. For a 600+ page book, it was a FAST read. Very hard to put the book down. Detailed descriptions without theh fluff. Great trasitions throughout. Definitely on the mark with the time-periods. Acurate descriotons of what it was like to be in LOVE at 20 and beyond. The begiinging of the book grabs youand you instinctively hold on until the end.............
