I'm glad I waited till some of the hype subsided so I could evaluate the book on its own merits, and was I ever glad I did. A sumptuously written tale of a man in the unique position to love a woman at three separate times in his life, the gimmick -- that he ages backwards -- is simply part of the fabric of the story instead of being the story itself. I didn't buy into everything, but Greer handles his material so sensitively that any flaws ceased to matter.
great confessions is it true!
