- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I found many parts of this novel extremely moving—especially as I’m always drawn to stories of dying spouses—but in the end I found the combination of the contemporary story with the one from the Victorian era lacking. Swift can write like a dream, many times his writing feeling so heartfelt and personal that it feels as if you reading a personal letter from the man. The parts from the 1800s became sections that I would find myself reading faster and faster as I wanted to get back to his writing of the current storyline, and Ruth. My copy of the book is heavily porcupined with the Post-its that I use to mark memorable lines and passages, so there was much that impressed me here, it was just a disconnect with his two story theme.
