Tom Hazard has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he's been alive for centuries. Tom has lived history--performing with Shakespeare, exploring the high seas with Captain Cook, and sharing cocktails with Fitzgerald. Now, he just wants an ordinary life.
So Tom moves back to London, his old home, to become a high school history teacher--the perfect job for someone who has witnessed the city's history first hand. Better yet, a captivating French teacher at his school seems fascinated by him. But the Albatross Society, the secretive group which protects people like Tom, has one rule: never fall in love. As painful memories of his past and the erratic behavior of the Society's watchful leader threaten to derail his new life and romance, the one thing he can't have just happens to be the one thing that might save him. Tom will have to decide once and for all whether to remain stuck in the past, or finally begin living in the present.

評分亂七八糟的一點淺思。 從作品來說部分情節是非常吸引文學女孩的設置,和莎士比亞的交情,以及和菲茲傑拉德的相遇,實在是太過奇妙有趣。 關於愛情“有人說,隻要你有過真正的愛情,在愛逝去後,任何人都無法和當時的愛人相提並論。”四百年來都在愛一個人是什麼樣的感受,愛過...
