I finished this a few days ago and was extremely disappointed in it. It sounded like it had such good potential and the idea could have possibly made an excellent book. But...it didn't. The historical aspects were entertaining and well written and I really enjoyed them but when the author entered current day it kind of fell apart. There were too many romantic novel cliches, the characters were too stereotypical and there were too many coincidences that were attempted to be explained by the elusive existence of the "ghost". At times there were truly beautiful lines and on occasion, beatiful paragraphs but they were thrown together with some truly mediocre writing. It was almost as though there were two different people writing this.

Despite my dislike for this story, I intend on seeking out the other novel this author has written. I'm curious to see if it follows the same lines.
