This book absolutely bewitched me from the very beginning. The historical story was so incredible. Several times, I cried. Several times, I had a lump in my throat. Several times, I was so tense with the foreshadowing that I stopped doing whatever I was doing while listening to just listen. Having just finished, I can still feel that lump of emotion.

The only reason I rated down was that I felt that the 2011 plot just didn't maintain the spellbinding characters or tension. Rebecca was a bit flat for me, and I didn't like that her relationship status was such a fundamental part of the plot in this timeline. Ari's sections in 2011, I loved. But Rebecca didn't work for me.

I think that this one (this historical timeline) will live with me for a long time.

Side note as I listened to this as an audiobook, the narrator was fantastic. Really made it come alive.

Dit was een heerlijk boek. Leest heel fijn weg en ik zag het voor me alsof het een film was.

Este libro lo tenía en mi librero hace más de un año...
Si, a veces compro libro como impulso.
Y ahora en mis vacaciones me decidí a leerlo y me encanto... la historia te atrapa con facilidad, es muy rápido de leer y sorprendente. Me encanto el hecho de que fuera capaz de transportarme a los espacios que describía.
