Helpful Score: 1

This was an extremely difficult book to part with. I wanted to read it again the minute I finished.I only posted it because over a thousand folk here are wishing for it and keeping it seemed selfish (and I'm getting right back on the wish list!)
It's been a fairly long time since I happened across a book I LOVED. Especially a book ABOUT Love---But love this book I did & do.
The story contains an improbable premise which by the end transcends metaphor to seem metaphysically (& quantum physics-ally)not only possible but accurate.
There's a large dose of Truth (capital "T" most definitely) in these pages.
Love, longing, humanity at it's best and worst--Joy & pain overflowing.
"World enough and time" indeed. I laughed aloud and sobbed even louder --- this writer may not even know herself how deeply she understands longing, love. & the metaphysics of Time and the Soul-- but to this reader it got through completely.
I hope Ms. Niffenegger writes again-- I'll be waiting.
