I picked this book up when I was in the UK last fall and really enjoyed it.
Description - Love in the hills of Provence echoes a tragic love affair of long ago.
Synopsis - Capturing the beauty and pain of two extraordinary love affairs separated by a gulf of 2000 years, this book explores true emotion, loss and the healing power of forgiveness.
From the Back Cover - One long look and I was brought down. She was in my blood...
Be careful how you uncover the past. - In the splendour and savagery of ancient Rome, Cassius, the greatest poet of his age, loses the only woman he ever loved. Two thousand yeas later, in the foothills of the Pyrenees, Antonia is driven to solve the riddle Cassius left behind. Her chance comes when she and her father, both archaeologists, excavate the sun-baked valley where Cassius lived and died.
This is the heartbreaking, heartwarming story of what Antonia found, and of all that followed. For Antonia there is a chance - one final chance - to undo the mistakes of the past, and to solve the age-old, all-pervading mystery that binds past and present together

I enjoyed this book very much! The intertwining stories of the present and ancient Rome was done very well. I hope to read more books by this author.
I will be sending this book on to a friend in Michigan.

Sending it to the next one on my list ;-)
I liked it - but I was hoping for a little more oomph to the story somehow. Maybe a little more mysticism.
