In the late sixteenth century, Sam awakens in a divine land of inimitable beauty, where a unicorn grazes on the banks of a rainbow lake, but all he feels is emptiness. It is his own poetic vision of heaven, but the reality is his death, the day before his twentieth birthday, has separated him from the love of his life and his heart has left him. Consequently, he is condemned to spend all of eternity in this soulless place. Sam’s meddling guardian angel, Athena, is desperate to atone for her role in his heavenly imprisonment and although she can’t send him back to his own life, she breaks all the rules by allowing him to be reincarnated again and again – as many times as it takes for him to find Fizz, the love of his life. Sam’s fate, however, was written by a higher power and death will continue to stalk him through every one of his incarnations. Only when he has solved the mystery of his original death and avoided the same fate in his new life can he and Fizz finally live in peace.
I am a bit rubbish at writing reviews of the books I read. If I don’t love it I never really know what to say. Literature of any sense is subjective and what one person loves another person may feel is absolute tripe.
Unfortunately I feel a bit like that bout Finding Fizz.
From other reviews I have seen that it is a book that is highly recommended and greatly enjoyed. I just don’t feel it. I have struggled to find motivation to continue reading and I feel this maybe that I am reading it at the wrong time (I felt similarly about the Lord of the Rings books the first time I read them and years later I was able to appreciate the complexities and subsequently have read them over and over many times).
The story just didn’t grab me and whilst I will probably read this again at some point in the future right now I am rating it as readable but nothing special.
This was a wonderful read, a rather long story which intertwined with time lapses and romance and history, a really nice book, reminded me of a cross between time travelers wife and Outlander.
A really cool read actually. I do love this author's work. A fan, I am.. absolutely I am.
A warm and fuzzy book, a romantic journey, Sam who lost his love Fizz and fights through the centuries to find her. set in Scotland in now time and the past. Its a wonderful tale of love and loves strength.
I absolutely fell in love with this book! A brilliant romance which had me hopping through time and space following Sams search for his beloved and only love Fizz. A wonderful read from start to finish.
