fun book. reminiscent of AS Byatt's Possession, which is one of my all time faves. This wasn't quite up to Byatt's standards, but that's a hard level to reach. One thing that kept bugging me was that we knew things the characters didn't, so when Claire kept going off on the wrong thoughts, I wanted to scream at her that's not what happened, until I remembered that she didn't know. But it was still a fun, engrossing read.
