3.0
Reminded me of MZB's modern parapsychology fantasies... Very different feel from urban fantasy. Closer to horror, I'd say. Only not really horrible. Cosy horror, like cosy murder mysteries?
One thing that struck me was the worry about which side this 300 year old man had been on at the time of the american revolution, and the relief at his having been on the "right" side. Hard to believe that people still place such importance on that... But then, my country was in part founded by people who were on the "wrong" side. And I suppose Americans make a big deal of it in their history books. They did in the ones I remember reading as a child.
