At the age of 14, I first read this intriguing story back in 1978, right after it was published. I've read it more than 100 times, going through 4 copies. I even took a pilgrimage to the small mountain town of Nederland to see some of the places mentioned in the book. It is an excellent read. It is a wonderful trip back in time, not only to our disco era of 1978, but back to the year 1900. I recommend this book for all history lovers who like a bit of fantasy and a lot of romance.
