The Gargoyle By Andrew Davidson

I had heard quite a bit about this book from a friends book club. The opinion was that you would either love it or hate it. There is no in between. I loved this book. It is possibly one of my most favorite books. What did I love? I really loved how every chapter flips back an forth between two stories...one story set in the present and one set back hundreds of years ago. It kept my attention throughout the whole book and made want to keep reading. The other interesting part to me was that both characters knew each other in the past...and in the present. Although the idea is so far fetched...the author made me believe it...or made me will it to be true in my head. Will what to be true? Their love story that transcends the boundary of time. I wanted these characters to survive and I wanted their story to be true. I wanted to the book to go on. I especially loved how the author made me love an awful person (at one point) for a main character. The first chapter is quite graphic but the author creates a great sense of how horrible of a person the main character really is. An added bonus....it is written by Andrew Davidson...an author from Manitoba (shout out to Neepawa!)
