<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>The Mathematics of Love</em> is a poignant chronicle of two people, separated by centuries, whose lives--amazingly, impossibly--become interwoven in a brilliant tapestry of tragedy, memory, and time. Following alternate but intimately connected stories--of a curious, promiscuous teenager in her season of exile and awakening in the English countryside in 1976, and a nineteenth-century soldier damaged on the fields of Waterloo, struggling to find his way back to life with the help of a compassionate, extraordinary woman--Emma Darwin's breathtaking narrative brilliantly evokes the horrors of war, the pain of loss, the heat of passion, and the enduring power of love.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The two stories that Darwin tells here add up to something hauntingly beautiful."--<em>Washington Post Book World</em><br><br>"A convincing and involving read. A book to lose yourself in this summer."--Daily Mail (London)<br><br>"A novel rapturous with the joys of history...Anna's story is told in a wonderfully convincing, brittle, adolescent voice."--The Australian<br><br>"An ambitious beginning, as much a ghost story as a romance."--The Observer<br><br>"Emma Darwin's prose is golden and convincing. The book is an addictive, engaging foray into historical fiction."--Express<br><br>"This is that rare thing, a book that works on every conceivable level...An uncommonly good read...A real achievement."--London Times<br>
