After a great walk and talk with @peaknit I have decided to bail... maybe another time! #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Sometimes a book just isn't the right fit! 4y
peaKnit Life is too short to read crappy books, lol. And agree with @TheAromaofBooks something‘s it‘s not the right fit or the right time. 4y

Wow! A 5* read and probably the best book I‘ve read this year so far. A story spanning 52 different locations and 2080 years. I am in awe of the imagination and research that must have been required to write this book. John Boyne is at the top of his game. #bookspinbingo

vivastory I can't wait to read this one 4y

This is a fascinating book. The same story being lived by multiple families through the millennia. And this paragraph ties it all together: no matter where we live or in what century, the spectrum of human emotion is the same. Makes me feel like we‘re all in this together

An epic time hopping tale that begins in the first century and ends in the year 2080. Along the way we encounter some famous historical figures as well as a couple of fictional characters from one of Boyne‘s earlier works. While the story centers around an unnamed narrator and his family, the relationships and plot stay the same while the names, locations and time period change in what is a very ambitious, clever and compelling tale.

Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira That reads really interesting, thanks for the highlight; 📚 add for me 😊 4y
DavidDiamond @Josee.a.lu.lit.et.lira My favorite book of his though is still The Heart's Invisible Furies! Hope you enjoy this one! 4y
