Nicholas and Isabel's lives evolve far apart - star-crossed lovers destined never to meet? Wait and see. This is a most engaging novel, hiding some interesting philosophical thoughts about destiny behind a teasing, nail-biting story. There is a bit too much magical whimsy for my tastes but Williams manages to carry it off. Yet another piece of lyrical, imaginative writing by an Irish author and highly enjoyable.
