When Charles Callahan chances on a newspaper photograph of Sian Richards, a woman he loved when they were both only 13, he is hardly in a position to do anything about it. He has been faithfully married for years and his Rhode Island real-estate business has been hit hard by the recession. But Charles cannot bear his curiosity and decides to get in touch.

Three decades after they last saw each other, the two lovers meet. Powerfully drawn together once again, Charles and Sian are forced to come to terms with the nature of erotic love and betrayal, moral quandaries in an age of shifting values, and the elusive nature of time.

This is the book you selected from me in the "first sentences VBB". I hope you enjoy reading it - but if it's not your thing, I hope you manage to pass it on to a good home!

Happy Reading!

Thank you for sending me this book which belongs to the first sentence "I remember everything".

I'm not sure I'll like the book. It seems I have read the Dutch translation that I didn't like. Maybe the original will do better, or since it is years ago, I will like it now.
In any case I'll give it a decent try :-)

This book has been sitting on my shelf way to long. Like I said, I read the Dutch version and although I decided on giving this English one a try, I honestly don't know how long that may take.
Since I've spotted it on someone's wishlist, it is going on a journey again soon.

On its way now as a surprise for one of the participants in the Birthday Group 2014.

Happy Birthday!!

Thank you very very much
