This is a good book, well written and a unique story. But having said that, it should carry a warning because the first 50 pages are intensely graphic in the description of a horrific accident and the painful suffering of the main character-as in TOO realistic! I nearly closed the book and walked away, so begin with caution! I made it through (with things I did not want in my head) but it does get better and it is an absorbing story that ties connections of lives and love through time. It is a bizarre story, and it left me pondering a few questions at the end, but it wraps up most things pretty nicely. It took awhile to read because it skips around to various characters in various periods in time that don't always appear to be connected throughout the book. Overall, it is a good read.

Dark and different. Held my interest to the end. Great fiction!

Not my favorite book. Good thing was that it wasn't slow or boring, so I didn't struggle to get through it, but I did struggle relating to the story. Perhaps my struggle has to do with a lack of religious faith, or maybe it was just the story itself, but either way I am not crazy about this book.
