Commentary As Books The Immortal Collection (A Saga of the Ancient Family #1)
When Adriana, a brilliant young archaeologist, accepts a position at the Museum of Archaeology in her hometown of Santander, Spain, she never imagines that her new boss has lived through the history she can only study. Iago, the charismatic technical director of the museum, is more than ten thousand years old but appears to be only thirty-five. Iago and his family are longevos—people who never seem to age after reaching adulthood. The ancient family is divided: Iago’s brother and sister seek the source of their longevity in hopes of creating more like themselves, while Iago and his father fear the repercussions of the true Fountain of Youth. A dangerous game of power and knowledge that has played out over eons becomes even more complicated when Adriana attracts both brothers’ attention—and learns their secret. Filled with science, history, and passion, The Immortal Collection transports the reader through time and space, from the days of cavemen, through the Roaring Twenties, to the charming plazas of contemporary Spain. Ancient history meets cutting-edge research in this modern love story and sweeping historical saga.

Don't start this book unless you have a day to kill. I found myself going back to it more and more, for longer periods and I stayed up all night to finish it. This is about a small family of long-living people and how they live their lives with glimpses back to their lives in the sometimes very distant past. It's not a perfect book but the characters are interesting enough, just don't expect a lot of subtleties.The real attraction of this book for me was the history and archaeology. A questionGreat bookThis book was very intriguing. Even with a few translation errors, I was hooked and enjoyed the story. Definitely with it!
I enjoyed this, the 1st book of the Collection. It's well researched & has an interesting setting, which shows that the 3 years it took to write was well spent. Set in Spain in 2012 with chapters being written from the point of view of 2 of the main characters, it's pacy and strongly written.It was recommended to me by Amazon and at first I felt the book was an American 'sexed up' version of a Mary Stewart novel, her stock novel with a plucky young woman slightly out of her depth with a
Good read.Good read.A real relief to learn that the book wasn't about vampires & werewolves. The struggle of loyalty, family, and love is a refreshing read. Look forward to the next book.
Closer to 3.5 stars.A few years ago I fell in love with Deborah Harkness' All Souls Trilogy, the third of which is expected to be released this summer. I'd never ever been a paranormal reader but something about that story just enchanted me -- probably the whimsy combined with the romance (I am a romance reader!).Reading the description of The Immortal Collection I thought "you bet, I'll try it." And I'm glad I did. It is quite long, the romance quite mild, but the descriptions and the depth of
Good and evil! History of caveman days! I liked the love story. I'd like to meet iago. Over all good story. They make it believable!
