This is an amazing novel. The plot is so interesting, I read the book in two sittings. I would not have imagined that romance and time travel could go so well together. I was concerned that it might be a bit kitschy, but that wasn't the case at all. Everything in this book is five stars. The plot is enthralling. The people - especially the main protagonists Rebecca and Elias, but also Aurora, Hank and a few more - are fascinating characters that grow on you and by the time you put the book aside you feel that you know them and wished you could invite them for coffee and cake/tea.The plot is well developed. The writing is not at all the kind of writing that's often associated with romance novels. This novel is good and solid literary fiction. The plot develops at a perfect pace: a great beginning that draws you in, a middle section with all the drama, love, sex and uncertainty that one can wish for, and an ending that covers almost the final quarter of the book and on the final pages explodes into a climax of unpredictable events that left me with no option but to keep reading well beyond midnight. This is a very good read. Great Epilogue! I highly recommend this book.
