I realized in this read-through that, in the vicar's cottage scene, Emma tries using Pierce's first name several times to get his attention. It comes across to me as her trying to join him in the historical space he was occupying. It's not until she interjects physically and carries him by the name he's asked her to use, Pierce, that she's able to draw him into the space and time the occupy together in the present.

"...a good deal of life is watching those we love consider the stupidest of possibilities. Why would God trust humankind if, in the end, we are all fools."

That was when the fireworks began; shimmer and fire autographing the sky with smoke. A moment of awe for us all.

My knees and my hands were less than 12 inches apart.
It felt like much more.

I reread the vicar's cottage scene 4 times.
The emotions and the writing are heartbreaking on every level and for every character in the room.

I didn't understand until this book that I have been blessed to experience my own Stonecrop. I also didn't realize until this book how much I have ached for it.

The interactions with the Romany women left me with chills up and down my spine upon first read and reread of the scene. I am spellbound.
