Update: Apparently, I forgot I read this previously and re-read it. I have to admit I did not remember one word, not one word. And my take over a decade later is less generous than my original review. I found the characters annoying, the storyline felt scattered and many plot holes.

Well, this was certainly different from what I expected. The story starts in present day Maine, where we meet Lanny who's been brought into the ER after murdering her companion. Luke, the physician on duty, is immediately attracted to her and thus begins the tale of Lanny and her immortal life. The story, which goes back and forth between different centuries, is filled with unrequited love, sex, violence, rape and obsession. Not exactly topics that will appeal to everyone. Having said that, the author is a very talented storyteller and I did get caught up reading this first story in a trilogy.
