A leap of loveI just finished reading reading A leap of love by Catherine Lim. The movie version (The leap years) touched me greatly, and it was with high expectations I went in search high and low of the novella. It actually took me quite a while to finally secured the book today, with it being out of stock since early March in major bookstores like Kinokuniya and Borders. Nonetheless, I am just so happy that I finally found it today.
Actually the movie did not follow the novella very closely. There were many differences in the two, with the movie having a more well elaborated ending I should say. But it's amazing how the novella moved me as much as the movie itself. I could feel the intensifying passion the leads in the stories had for each other, the twist in fates and how they loved and lost each other so many times over the span of 12 years. Each 29th February was faced with anticipation, only to be met with disappointment, lest for the one that changed their lives forever.
This is truly a very good piece of work in my opinion. It's also the perfect epitome of how love should be. To believe, to trust and to love.
No matter how rotten one feels, a good read brightens up the day.
