Unexplained attraction to someone that's instant creates the wonder of why is this so? How do strangers illicit this response so strongly. This story is written in the future then expertly leaps back to 1972 introducing some of the back story but never spoiling what had been read before. To finally a leap to 1962 where the story begins. Many secrets lie between the characters.
Encompassing moral dilemmas of how we react to this can be mixed. Some shocking and very intriguing to what you would do if in that situation? How love can be so strong regardless of distance…
This is a love story with a real twist – because it starts with an older couple splitting up, and then works backwards to find out why.

It could have been confusing, but it was brilliantly written and honestly one of the best love stories I’ve ever read, with one of the most satisfying endings.
From Clare's list on love stories that don’t follow the same old path.
