Oh my goodness, this book is pure magic. I had been longing to read this book for a really long time and finally I read it. And the wait was totally worth it.
If you have even a speck of interest (if not belief) in the concept of reincarnation, please read this book. I can guarantee, you won't be disappointed. I don't remember how I came across this book, maybe through Pinterest. But when I read the plot summary, I knew I have to read this book for sure. Somehow, I also knew that this book won't disappoint me.
The starting of this book is somewhat slow, for a few pages you might not be persuaded to read further but once you get to the core, there's no coming back.
I found myself fervently turning the pages always thinking 'then what happened?' I was so lost in this book, I just couldn't put it down.
The protagonist of this book is Daniel, a young boy with a miraculous gift of nature. He has lived a thousand lives and remembers each one of it, which turns out to be both, a boon and a bane for him.
In his very first life, he meets a girl and mistakenly, becomes the one responsible for her untimely death. In a subsequent life, he meets the same girl again, her name is Sophia and she is the wife of his own brother, Joaquim, an evil soul.
Daniel finds himself strangely attracted to her until he knows that he has fallen in love. He manages to rescue Sophia from the claws of his brother, but they are never able to spend a life together, despite their love.
Daniel looks for Sophia, in every life. Sometimes, he isn't able to find her for hundreds of years. And even when he is able to find her, the circumstances don't let them reunite.
But when Daniel meets Lucy at high school, around a thousand years after he met Sophia(who is now Lucy), he knows this is their chance. But unlike him, Lucy doesn't remember him or any of her earlier lives.
This book will surely restore your faith in love and humanity and also enlighten you about the power of them. Daniel will appear to you like the ideal partner, one could get.
I couldn't get enough of the characters created by the author, you can't not fall in love with them. The book ended at a point which seems like a starting to a sequel and I certainly browsed about it.
As the rumors are, the publishing house Riverhead is not in favor of publishing the sequel to this book because it didn't sell that much and I couldn't quite understand why in the world did that happen. This book is brilliant, one of the bests I have read so far. I have also read other readers' requests for a sequel to this book and I can totally relate to them.
I even saw a petition on Change.org to Riverhead Trade for publishing a sequel to this book but much to my disappointment the petition has already been closed. I just wish they publish a sequel after all.
