Subject: If the dates are clear at the beginning of each part, then I think it should be fine. As soon as the reader sees the new location for a part, then a shift in the timeline to 'catch up' is expected, I think. No worries - the reader will figure it out!
In reply to: celtgirl 's message, "That's why I did it in parts, otherwise I would have to intersperse the chapters from both storylines and it would be a mess, frankly. There is only one part where the storylines touch each other. So here's an example- Part 4 starts in early winter 1973 and ends in December of '73 and Part Five where the action switches to Russia starts in February 1973, so we're backtracking ten months to catch up with all that has occured with Jamie in that time. Because, as I said, the two storylines don't touch each other, except once, I don't think it ought to be too confusing, but I could be wrong." on 21:13:38 04/03/11 Sun
