End of a Good Book

First and foremost, this book has been good throughout. It's like I was taken back to the Tudor era and experienced everything first hand.  Hats off to the author Sarah Morris. I have not read a full book in many years and I definitely want to experience of reading the second book. Regardless of reading this for a class or not, I want a copy as soon as it becomes available please. I realized on page 296 that modern day Anne was back in modern day time and about to board an ambulance and go to the hospital. I still was unsure what time frame she was in. LOL.On page 298 it was then that I found out she had a cerebral aneurysm that had ruptured and was bleeding into her brain. That is why she felt sick in the begining of the book and passed out. She needed to be operated on ASAP! Even though her surgery was sucessful, sadly her neurosurgeon said there was another one deeper down in her brain that was inoperable. Anne is a "ticking time bomb" as she would later say about herself. She handled this well, but missed her family in the Tudor era and her love King Henry VIII. While she was recovering in the hospital, she had a few friends stop by including her friend of ten years Kate, who was the only one in modern era that knew of Daniel, her lover who was married. I found out also the reason modern day Anne and Daniel were not officially together is because Daniel does not want to bring that kind of stress on his daughter.  And also who goes months at a time with no contact to their lover?  Daniel does, that's who. Although he does this, Anne allows this.  As did mistress in Anne in the Tudor times. How ironic. Daniel does visit her a few times and even comes to see her on her first day home from the hospital. This is what Anne tells her friend Kate when she comes to pick her up. As soon as Anne settles in her home, Daniel comes by and shows concern and then he gets back in good with modern day Anne. As she regains her strength she gets to visit Hever castle and the British library for the last time and has a dejavu moment a few times when she strongly smells Tudor Anne's rosewater scent will visiting. I personally like the picnic moment Anne and Daniel at the Anker Yew that she and King Henry VIII had on many occassions. And the author Sarah Morris left us hanging and wanting more towards then end.  I want to know what happened.....
