    <body><![CDATA[Like so many other readers, I was enchanted by The Time Traveler’s Wife.  There was a willing suspension of disbelief on my part (which goes against my skeptical and cynical nature) but the story was sweet and engaging enough to pull it off.  Not so much with Her Fearful Symmetry.  Again, through ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74164299">more...</a>]]></body>

I ended up opting for 4 stars, because I did remember so much of it due to its sense of place and its unique storytelling.
