......................................................
It happens every time she comes back into my life, a memory lingering from the first night we met, centuries ago. She has no idea who she is, of course. That her presence - or absence - in my life has defined my entire existence. I may go by Sebastien now, but my name was originally Romeo. And hers was Juliet.
It's a frosty fairytale of an evening when Helene and Sebastien meet for the first time. Except it isn't the first time. You already know that story, though it didn't happen quite as Shakespeare told it.
To Helene, Sebastien is the flesh-and-blood hero of the love stories she's spent her life writing. But Sebastien knows better - Helene is his Juliet, and their story has always been the same. He is doomed to find brief happiness with her over and over, before she dies, and he is left to mourn.
Albrecht and Brigitta. Matteo and Amelie. Jack and Rachel. Marius and Cosmina. By any name, no matter where and when in time, the two of them are drawn together, and it always ends in tragedy.
This time, Helene is determined that things will be different. But can these star-cross'd lovers forge a new ending to the greatest love story of all time?
'The Hundred Loves of Juliet is romantic, realistic, and fanciful, a love-for-all-times story. I couldn't put this book down and I really wanted Helene and Sebastien to have a happy ending. . .and I'll just say I was very surprised!' NANCY THAYER, New York Times bestselling author
'Evelyn Skye expertly crafts the story of Romeo and Juliet into a moving romance that explores what it means to love boldly in the face of tragedy and loss. Hopeful and triumphant, The Hundred Loves of Juliet is like a bright warm sunbeam in the form of a book, one you'll want to revisit again and again' ALYSSA WEES
