Wow. Just wow. I loved this story. This is about love that endures and transcends. Love like Shakespeare wrote about in sonnet 116Let me not to the marriage of true mindsAdmit impediments. Love is not loveWhich alters when it alteration finds,Or bends with the remover to remove:O no! it is an ever-fixed markThat looks on tempests and is never shaken;It is the star to every wandering bark,Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeksWithin his bending sickle's compass come:Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,But bears it out even to the edge of doom.If this be error and upon me proved,I never writ, nor no man ever loved.The only thing I would have wanted differently would be to have a bit more then just brief glimpses of their lives each decade,that past. I think that it would not have been cumbersome to read more about their joys and struggles. The author, after 1945, only provides hints about a life lived ...an appetizer, when I was ready by that point in the novel to sit down to a meal.That being said I loved this story and was very moved by many times in the story.Wonderful work. Any book that makes me think about my long lost English literature degree and Shakespeare LOL is worth a read. Way to go.
