Told by a ghost, stories of two great loves unfold. Raziela is young when she leaves the love of her life behind, stuck inbetween she becomes a perfect narrator of the story of Scott and Amy, a young couple who purchases a chest with valuable secrets. Razi was not the typical woman of the 20's,caught between love and the future she always wanted, she reveals the story of her love for Andrew throughout her observations of the couple she resides with.
Amy and Scott's story is not without its own obstacles. Raziela and Amy are so similar in some ways. Both outspoken and with a bit of wildness to them. I don't want to delve to much into the story, because it is like a gift. It surprised me with connections and its wonderful cohesiveness.
The writing was almost melodic. It was both heart-wrenching, but hopeful at the same time. It was one of those stories that would make the most hard-hearted believe in the passion, beauty, and resilience of true love.
