A sweeping historical novel that spans Germany, England, and the United States and follows a young couple torn apart by circumstance leading up to World War II—and the family secret that may prove to be the means for survival. I loved this book so much. War genre is one of my favorites and this is definitely a favorite. Loved each of the main characters very much, especially Max and Hanna. Very hard to put this down and I did shed a few tears over this one. Breathtakingly beautiful and haunting. I will not forget these characters quickly. #Edelweiss #HarperCollins It only took me a day and a half to read this book. It is reminiscent of The Time Traveler's Wife. The story is told from two POVs, Max and Hanna and alternates between pre WWII to the years after the war. It is a story of love, music and survival. It is told beautifully with characters that will tug at your heart. I was totally enthralled. Oh my!!! I have just concluded reading Jillian Cantor's novel, "In Another Time". What an original, tragic, mind-blowing, surprising effort. I love her prose, her "voice" if you will. After the first page, I felt a connection. I felt as if I were sitting with Jillian over a cup of coffee (with Amaretto cream) and hearing the passion in her voice, hearing the lilting strains of the violin, as she slowly revealed the drama of Hanna and Max. What a love story! I am adding Jillian's other novels to my TBR list. What a writer she is! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: "Jillian Cantor's In Another Time is a love song to the most powerful of all human emotions: hope. It is the story of Max and Hanna, two star-crossed lovers fighting to stay together during an impossible moment in history. It is gripping, mysterious, romantic, and altogether unique. I was enchanted by this beautiful, heartbreaking novel." â??

Hanna and Max meet by happenstance as he enters the auditorium where she practices her violin. They quickly fall in love and dream about spending their life together. Hanna, a young woman who happens to be Jewish and Max, a Christian begin a love affair that will alter their lives.
There is an interesting turn of events in the story that I am still unsure how I feel about. It seems like an odd way to add sci-fi to a historical fiction genre book and it left the ending a little rushed and unsatisfying. ( )
