The story is compelling and departing quickly guess the plot will have an attractive fantastic dimension reincarnation. Printing accentuated by a title that is beautiful in itself, but with little relevance to the novel. Quickly dimension "thriller" takes over the fantasy. That's a shame, because the stories of villains that young friendly people holding a secret wish to escape is hackneyed. Especially since it is detrimental side "fantastic". The style is poor, little work, simplistic, too "film". Factual as some say? A sentence puzzled me, p.77 in P.Pocket 2009 edition of "The familiarity came naturally." Really? Knowing that it comes between a Spaniard and a Dutchman who meet in Scotland, one wonders what language this familiarity comes naturally, because it is not specified. In French? Hey-hey!
