This book is going into my top ten list of favorite books, ever. The writing was clear and easy to read, yet descriptive and beautiful. The story chronicles the life and times of a couple whose relationship endures the many twists and turns of time travel. At first, the chronological leaps are challenging to follow, but when you just accept that they exist, eventually you get into the rhythm of reading. This is a love story with a science fiction twist. Do not let the length of the book disocurage you. It flies by. I finished it in 3 days. Excellent!

I enjoyed this book. Although the title and first chapter imply that this book may be primarily a fantasy, there is only a thin undercurrent of fantasy running throughout. The story deals with a young woman who attempts to find her biological father. The search involves delving into her family's past, from the founding father of her hometown in the 1700's to today. Each main character, including those living in colonial times, has the opportunity to "speak" as individual chapters are devoted to hearing his or her point of view. The story was interesting and well-written, and I believe it would be a fair book to discuss at book club.
