A VERY interesting READ!! It weaves together the present, in the life of Charlie, an architect based in London, who finds himself being uprooted and transferred to the NYC office of his firm, and also, he faces the end of his 10 year marriage to a woman he loves... He travels through New England intending to ski, but bad weather finds him looking for a place to stay. A widow he meets offers to rent her lakeside chateau to him.
He learns that two hundred years before, a woman lived and died there, and from the moment he resides there, he can feel her presence, and he longs to know more about her.He finds the diaries of Sarah Ferguson in the attic, and begins to read them. Sarah comes alive to Charlie on the pages of the diaries. He learns about why Sarah herself fled England to America in 1789, and about the man she eventually met and of their
special love that manages to transcend the centuries and gives renewed HOPE to Charlie in his own troubles. This is TRULY a beautiful story and a MUST READ in my book!! I would give it 5 stars!
