Look for Me

Look for Me

by Douglas Kirk

Wallace Larame was a successful psychologist, but he had grown tired of his patients’ problems and decided he had had enough. When he met Lauri, he had no idea he would find himself so connected to so many people with vastly different lives.

Look For Me spans two continents and a thousand years. From a battleground in eleventh century Ireland, to the artificial world of a 1956 movie star, with time in an 1850 cramped immigration ship and an 1871 Pennsylvania coal mine, sometimes you just can’t be certain of the outcome of the events that surround you. Look For Me is a remarkable love story you won’t want to miss.

Brilliant, different, and something everyone can enjoy, not just those who enjoy love stories. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys literary fiction. Wonderfully written piece of work with engaging dialogue. It pulls you in from the very first page with realistic characters. You feel for them through their trials. I can't wait to read the rest of three books in the series that continue the story. Would make an excellent movie.

This book was recommended to me by someone and I wasn’t sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. I ended up being so engrossed in the book that I stayed up late and read about half of it in one night, finishing it.

In the novel there are stories about different couples in separate time periods that all relate to each other at the end (sorry no spoilers, you’ll have to read the book). I liked how the author manipulates these stories in a way that is easy for the reader to follow.

The size of the book is perfect for toting around. It’s small enough to fit in my purse and the typing wasn’t small so I didn’t have to stain my eyes to read it. I would definitely recommend this book to someone else and can’t wait to start the next book!

Intriguing and thought provoking

I'm wondering if this story WAS made into a movie, as I am reminded so much of Cloud Atlas. I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series.
