A History of Forever

On the first pages of A History of Forever, gallery owner and historian Sarah Bolling disappears leaving only a letter and memoir as explanations to her whereabouts. In her manuscript she tells of a clandestine relationship with her history professor and makes other personal confessions that she has locked away for over forty years. Most startling is Sarah's recollection of a three month journey during the winter of 1974-1975, which if revealed during her long career as a respected historian could have derailed her professional life, or, had she been believed, created an upheaval in the world of physics and reality as we know it.A History of Forever is a book to read on different levels. At its most basic, it is a romance-a classic story of love and fantasy. For those interested in history, the novel is also a thought provoking read on what it means to study the past and how historians are the keepers of what gets told and how it gets told. Lastly, A History of Forever is a look into the multiple meanings of the word forever and the methods we employ to make sure that our loved ones are not forgotten by us or by others.
