This book is so different from ones that I have read. I can't explain it. The dialogue between the characters... They are old worldly souls... true artists and they wear their hearts on their sleeves. You can feel the connection that they have upon meeting and you get a sense that they are truly meant to find one another. I was so consumed by this book and didn't expect the emotions that steamrolled through me. So many tears. They take you on an innocent and heart-wrenching journey of a one of a kind type of love.
