I love this book!!  To me this book will become a classic, such as To Kill a Mockingbird or The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.  Throughout the book, the story switches from the old Jacob to the young Jacob.  It is a little confusing at times to tell which is talking, the old Jacob or young Jacob, but most of the time it was pretty obvious.  Another thing I love about this book is the love triangle.  I love romance books and this is definitely a romance book.  I was really surprised at the end when Marlena did what she did just to be with Jacob.  I had mixed emotions about that.  I was glad that Marlena and Jacob could finally be together, but the way she accomplished that is really pretty sad.  This book not only has romance, but it also has a little history thrown into the mix.  The book is set in the Great Depression and it is portrayed really well in the book.  The relationship between Rosie and Jacob was also really sweet and cute.  Overall, I thought it was a really good book although there were some parts I wish would not have been included in the story.
