This book is an incredible experiment in time organization. The author, somehow, makes everything work. She keeps situations in their places while moving people through and around time and back again. Superb workmanship!
If you can get beyond the first few incidents of jumping around time, with ages varying all over the place, it is in irresistible love story. I didnt have any problem with the dates and time, but some people might. I did find myself looking back to the dates in the previous chapter or scene to see where I was coming from, but it never caused a mental stumbling block for me. There is a lot of sex, but only a few graphic situations. Mostly, you just know what is going on. Also, there are some offensive words, but spoken in the voice of the times (60s, 70s, 80s) so I credited the author with keeping the verbiage time-related and didnt let these slights interfere with how much I enjoyed the story. I fell in love with the characters myself, and really, really fell in love with the story.
