This month's book group selection -


When the book group chose this last November - we are "dark" in December - I was sure it would be some fluffy romance that I would have to wade through.

I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. It's a pretty well-wrought mystery tale with historical overtones. I thought I had it "figured out" several times - and was off a bit each time. It's nice to be "off the mark" now and then so that you want to keep reading.

The story is really 3 stories going one in a parallel fashion - 1909-1913, 1975, and 2005. I wonder how the author keeps track of all those details??
