Daniel is a very old soul, who has been reincarnated for hundreds and hundreds of years. However, unlike most souls, he remembers every single one of his lives. He also remembers the other souls he meets - both those he loves, and those he doesn't. Lucy is the current reincarnation of Daniel's great love, but she doesn't have his memory, and so she is scared by her experience and feelings with him. Thus begins an intriguing story of romance, mystery and drama that kept me turning the pages all weekend long.
I love how Brashares gets Daniel, and Lucy, from A to B, and I love her explanations of birthmarks, karma, and children's internal worlds. I am enough of a believer that it all makes sense to me. And I love the way she leaves it kind of open in the end... I sense a sequel! Definitely a great read, I highly recommend it - best novel I've read in awhile.
