Again and Again: A Novel

Description
From one of America's greatest, most creative novelists comes Again and Again, a poignant and endlessly surprising story about love lost, found, and redeemed

Eugene "Geno" Miles is living out his final days in a nursing home, bored, curmudgeonly, and struggling to connect with his new nursing assistant, Angel, who is understandably skeptical of Geno's insistence on having lived not just one life but many--all the way back to medieval Spain, where, as a petty thief, he first lucked upon true love only to lose it, and spend the next thousand years trying to recapture it.

Who is Geno? A lonely old man clinging to his delusions and rehearsing his fantasies, or a legitimate anomaly, a thousand-year-old man who continues to search for the love he lost so long ago?

As Angel comes to learn the truth about Geno, so, too, does the reader, and as his miraculous story comes to a head, so does the biggest truth of all: that love--timeless, often elusive--is sometimes right in front of us.

This was a very interesting story and well written, but it is just not to my individual tastes unfortunately. I'm not personally a fan of unreliable narrators, so when that was revealed it made it difficult for me to continue reading. It still managed to tug at my heartstrings even after that, but I just didn't have the connection to the characters that I'd had before the reveal. It is still a good story with a beautiful message though.
