This book fulfilled the test of a satisfying read for me because the ending brought tears to my eyes. It described the whisking away of Holly Sykes' granddaughter and adopted grandson to the safety of Iceland from the rapidly and dangerously devolving civilization of Europe, in the safe hands of the atemporal Marinus.
The book told a wide ranging story with some definitely loopy elements, and with a bit too much story telling. I mostly skipped over the part about Iraq because it felt like a documentary, including quite a few political opinions. But other sections of the book were riveting, and I'm grateful to the final section, which dealt with the devolution of civilization. It stressed for me the tremendous importance of guarding our environment and resources.
