I think your review was extremely thorough. I feel like it is a great book, just not one I am interested in reading. The cover doesn't really appeal to me or the plot.

I would love to read this book. I like plaines so I would not mind the long descriptions with flying. I love the idea of the romance, although it does sound like Anson is a bit of a mean guy. I understand him wanting her to get a job. I hope to read it to learn all that there is that happens to lead to that point. The book so far seems like a good read. The characters may not be relatable, but the story line is interesting so far. I hear its insertional too, so I can't wait to read it!

While I'm not a fan of romance novels or those that deal heavily with philosophy, I'm curious to know what the big twist in this story is. On the other hand, Anson doesn't sound like a character I'd really be able to connect with. I think I'll pass on this one. Thanks for the insightful review.

Thank you for your review. The stories of people with amnesia have been used to exhaustion, and while the aeronautical context along with the way the romance subplots are carried out seem interesting, it does not sound like a book for me.

I do think that the technical descriptions are a bit of a turn-off but I still think I'll read this one.

I think this book sounds very interesting. I like the fact that it follows two couples lives around rather than one and how they intertwine with one another. Your review was very thorough and made me interested in possibly checking this book out. Thanks for the review.

I enjoy romance and mystery and this seems like an interesting plot. Very curious to find out what Anson discovers when he regains his memory!

From a sampling, this is an entertaining romance novel. While I am not a particular fan of the romance stories, the combination of the romance element with a mystery makes it a bit more interesting. Well done.

Thanks for this great, informative review. Based on what you've stated in this review, I do not think this book is for me. However, the philosophical angle sounds intriguing.

I might reconsider it at some point.

Good review! This sounds an interesting novel that includes love and adventures in its plot. Anson Roe, a pilot, met with a plane crash. John Magee, another Spitfire pilot, looked after him after the accident. This novel has an enticing plot. The reviewer opined that she could not connect with the characters due to the elaborate narrations, and the confusion involved in the character development. This book is recommended for all the readers who like the philosophical and romantic stories.

Excellent review! This sounds like a great story with the pilot crashing and having no memories. I am sure many people will enjoy it. It's too bad you weren't able to connect with the characters. That is the part of books I like the most. Thank you for all the detail you covered regarding the plot, characters and the mystery surrounding them.

Themes of aviation, philosophy, romance with a touch of mystery drive the plot of this story of an amnesia-stricken protagonist. While he grasps with the pieces of his past he must navigate his present alongside his significant other who is a somewhat reluctant drug along for the ride. Perhaps it is her sense of loyalty or maybe Vivianne feels bound to Anson by motivations related to the reason that brought her to England. Each character has their own background, even if it is forgotten in some cases. I find stories that give each character their own backgrounds to be fascinating because they tend to be more profound. Based on the description this sounds like an interesting read indeed.

Thanks for the thorough review! Though I enjoy the genres included in this novel, I don't think this is the book for me. The plot didn't catch my interest and the excessive details of planes and flying is a deal breaker.

In the 'Official Review: A Day in Eternity by Kathryn Gabriel Loving', the reviewer well expresses the reactions to the story, in describing the secondary aspects of it. I would call the review broadly an ideal one!
