Reading this book was like slipping into a different universe. It was warm and comfortable as a much loved sweater. Going back in time with Maggie Ramos, was a wonderful experience, especially as it was shown in slipstream fashion, with Maggie sliding from the present to the past and back again.Maggie of course thinks the stress of her recent divorce has just been to much when she meet a man from her past, who first of all, insists he is the husband who has been waiting more than one-hundred years for her to come back, and who, secondly, thinks everything about Maggie, or Margaret as he calls her, is simply perfect.Is Maggie losing her mind, or can a love like hers and Joseph's survive a century of separation. If so, why didn't Joseph simply move on and be born again like Maggie has, and more importantly, what does a flesh and blood woman do if she thinks she is in love with what is a figment of her imagination or a ghost.Fall did a wonderful job of blending past and present in this book. I loved Maggie's confusion when she realized she was the only person who could see Joseph, and even more, her reaction when she learned of her past occupation, according to Joseph. This book had plenty of heartwarming moments as well as a few that made me chuckle and definitely made me laugh out in places.
