Publisher's Summary

Sydney Bellek first meets Elian Davies in the 1950s on a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser when she is five and he is seven. They run into each other every few years after that, but while he knows from the start that she is his true love, she does not. Later, as rival journalists, they vie for scoops on international crises from the Iranian revolution to the Lebanese civil war. The handsome and intrepid Elian beats her out at every turn, even while keeping his love for her secret.

Only after years of separation does she finally realize they are meant to be together, but this time, in a twist of fate, it is Elian whose memory of her is gone. Will he remember her before she loses heart, or will their new love be enough to replace the old one?

An Engaging Tale of Two Timelines

I don’t normally choose romance books, but when I won this audiobook in a contest I gave it a go. And I’m so glad I did!

I was pleasantly surprised by the story of Sydney and Elian. They met as kids on a plane in the 1950s, and so begins the lifetime of chance meetings and hints at true love.

I like how the story is told through two timelines - Back in the past and also in present day through conversations between Sydney and daughter Olivia. It was a great way to unravel events and also bring out Olivia’s own love entanglements.

The only “miss” I felt was the scenes in which Sydney described to Olivia her lovemaking with Elian. Would Olivia really be interested in hearing details of her mother’s sex life? I cringed a bit at those parts, so that’s why 4 stars not 5. It didn’t seem realistic.

Regarding the narration of the audiobook, it was wonderful! He has a gentle, welcoming voice that suits the book well. The tone and emotion added an extra level to the romantic story.

An engaging story!
