Reading a pre- WWII book dealing with antisemitism and Hitler’s race and anti-Jewish laws in Germany in a moment when there is rising antisemitism in our time is probably what kept me glued to it right now. But the romance didn’t appeal as much when Max and Hannah kept so many secrets from one another. And the “worm hole” closet and time travel aspect of the book seemed out of place in this historical novel. It’s also one of those novels that seems so prevalent right now that jumps around in time from chapter to chapter. Just didn’t work for me… ( ) Hanna wakes up in a field where she has no memory of her life for the past decade - she remembers nothing about World War II or immediately after. The one thing she does remember is that she loves Max, and she is unsure of what happened to him. Hanna and Max meet by happenstance as he enters the auditorium where she practices her violin. They quickly fall in love and dream about spending their life together. Hanna, a young woman who happens to be Jewish and Max, a Christian begin a love affair that will alter their lives. There is an interesting turn of events in the story that I am still unsure how I feel about. It seems like an odd way to add sci-fi to a historical fiction genre book and it left the ending a little rushed and unsatisfying. A sweeping historical novel that spans Germany, England, and the United States and follows a young couple torn apart by circumstance leading up to World War II—and the family secret that may prove to be the means for survival. I loved this book so much. War genre is one of my favorites and this is definitely a favorite. Loved each of the main characters very much, especially Max and Hanna. Very hard to put this down and I did shed a few tears over this one. Breathtakingly beautiful and haunting. I will not forget these characters quickly. #Edelweiss #HarperCollins It only took me a day and a half to read this book. It is reminiscent of The Time Traveler's Wife. The story is told from two POVs, Max and Hanna and alternates between pre WWII to the years after the war. It is a story of love, music and survival. It is told beautifully with characters that will tug at your heart. I was totally enthralled. Oh my!!! I have just concluded reading Jillian Cantor's novel, "In Another Time". What an original, tragic, mind-blowing, surprising effort. I love her prose, her "voice" if you will. After the first page, I felt a connection. I felt as if I were sitting with Jillian over a cup of coffee (with Amaretto cream) and hearing the passion in her voice, hearing the lilting strains of the violin, as she slowly revealed the drama of Hanna and Max. What a love story! I am adding Jillian's other novels to my TBR list. What a writer she is! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
