This is a fascinating book, and one which I literally found difficult to put down.
This novel is an erotic love story, featuring hot and heavy sexuality of several varieties, but it also covers
history, art, war, reincarnation, karma, and deep and meaningful discussions of personal philosophy. With
so many strands it could end up being a mishmash of ideas, but it doesn't. It is a well-written, intelligent
and intriguing book of considerable depth and I loved it! It raises many spiritual and philosophical ideas
and questions, and strives to shed light on possible and/or probable answers to them, although Mr.
Williams is never pedantic and the readers can always reach their own conclusions.
The characters are well-drawn and likeable, and the story is told with Mr. Williams' trademark humour
which ensures that the tale remains hot but not heavy! It's the thinking person's erotica, and I would
happily recommend it to anyone – although maybe not yer old Granny!
Well done, Mr. Williams – you've left me thirsting for more! Books, that is!
Funny, touching, sad, with a light of hope at the end of the tunnel
