Reviews

Goodreads review by Katie

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. There were parts I loved and found fascinating, other parts I was confused by and disliked, and the ending was a little odd. Still, an interesting read, and I look forward to more Wilkie Collins in the future.......more

Goodreads review by Ehsan'Shokraie'

داستان رمانتیکی از سختی و دوری عشق و معجزاتی که تنها زمان می تواند سبب آنان شود..تغییراتی که در داستان زندگی ما طی زمان روی می دهد گاه آنچنان باور نکردنی اند که هرگز جرئت تصورشان را هم نداشته ایم. زندگی هر انسان سهمی محدود از این تغییر هاست..تغییر های زمان غالبا اما بهایی دارند که باید پرداخته شود........more
