REVIEWS...
"Part love story, part mystery, part horror, this is as much about the twisting hand of fate as it is about the mutability of folk tales. Its strange spell will capture you."
--Booklist (starred review)
"...a story that's simultaneously romantic, tragic, horrifying, and transcendental is more than enough to hold readers' attention, no matter their age." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The Time Traveler's Wife meets Lost in this chilling exploration of love and memory [...] Haunting, sophisticated and ultimately exquisite. " -- Kirkus (starred review)
