I loved everything about this book.. the characters were rich and well developed... I loved the backdrop of the book and the fact that it culminates in a single day in Paris in 1927 where the characters finally intersect and leave you feeling breathless. I love the historical aspect and the use of real live characters from that time frame... Ernest Hemingway, Josephine Baker, Gertrude Stein... they all leave a feeling of authenticity to the story. Just an amazing read for me, love the way this author writes! Bravo!
