Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Such a beautiful exploration of story telling, love, and dedication.Joshua's path is at times dark and lonely, at times bright and fulfilling. The effect on the narrator - of learning about it, writing it, accepting it as a possible truth - though, that is the key to this novel for me. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. A young man suddenly finds himself transported to a strange world in a different time. It is just before WWII in Paris, and a couple takes him in. He eventually takes their name and as Joshua Pearl, he sets out to make his way in the world. Along the way he begins to lose his memories of this fairy tale beginnings. Pearl spends his free time seeking out objects to prove the existence of his other life and his long lost love. With time running out, Joshua and his true love must find a way to break the curse that was placed on them long, long ago.The Bottom Line: This is a strange and wonderful adventure set in another time. It is a pleasure to read and absorb; however, the shifting points of view are confusing at times. If you dare to pick this book up and start reading, you will be swept away by this poetic tale of first love. Recommended for teens and adults who enjoy literary fiction, fairy tales,and romance. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. This is a beautiful book. One that pulls you right in with its charming characters, elegant writing and subtle humour. A love story at heart, it chronicles the life of a man who has been cast out of his fairy tale into our world, where he endeavors to collect any stray fragments from his land so he can find his way back to his sweetheart. It's been a while since I've gotten so much joy from reading a book. Absolutely wonderful. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. This is a beautiful book, and very strange. It feels like you're reading the transcript of a dream. It feels very French, and is written in an incredibly poetic way. Kudos to the translator! This must have been a tough job. It will definitely not be for everybody, as the language and the narrative style will annoy those who want a straight-forward story. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Joshua Pearl comes from a world that we no longer believe in-- a world of fairy tale. He knows that his great love waits for him there, but he is stuck in an unfamiliar time and place: an old-world marshmallow shop in Paris on the eve of World War II. As his memories begin to fade, Joshua seeks out strange objects: tiny fragments of tales that have already been told, trinkets that might possibly help him prove his own story before his love is lost forever.
