I spent months waiting for this book, I knew more or less what it was about and it sounded really interesting. At the beginning it was incredible, I love the writing style and the imagination behind it. I have always been drawn to books that jump around in time and place, but come together in the end. This book was living up to my expectations, it had such great twists and turns.
And then it all went south!! The last fifth of the book was horrible. I mean it was well written and the imagination is there...but I cannot believe she actually wrote it. I guess I am spoiled and expect a happy ending, or at the very least not a gruesome one!! It does not seem fair, Clare's life was entirely based on Henry's presence...and then she is left alone at 37?! It's almost like her life is jaded by him and he knows it, and doesn't change it!
It makes me wonder what kind of a childhood the author had? She had it in her power to give her readers a happy and hopeful ending, but she did not. Instead she robs us of any sense of security and self preservation. If she ever writes another book...I really do hope she redeems herself.
