Subject: Here, I'll try to explain myself better. It's not jumping around in time or anything, just that the storylines are separate, except where the times have to meet up at one point. I'll go inside to explain>>>

So here's the format-

Part One- starts in winter of '73, it's in Ireland and it ends in autumn of '73

Part Two- a wee peek at where Jamie is at, then back to Ireland

Part Three- takes the book to Russia, and then we're going back to the beginning of '73 to catch up on all that has transpired with Jamie in that time.

Part Four- Ireland- early winter '73 through to about Christmas time '73

Part Five- Russia again, starting in about February of '73

and so forth with the remaining parts of the book. Because I don't weave Jamie's story in with Pamela and Casey's except at one point, I think the time issue shouldn't matter too much.

Between these parts are sometimes what I've been referring to in my head as the hinges, which is Jamie's journal entries- each a chunk from a particular period in his life. The parts do naturally lead back and forth to one another, but they just don't run in exact parallel. In each part we are only in ONE country at a time, I don't have Russia chapters and Ireland chapters in the same part.

Hopefully this will make more sense. It's not about jumping around in time, just that I don't want the dates confusing anyone. The dates are posted at the beginning of each part. In a way it's like getting a letter saying 'while you were with Pamela and Casey, this is what was going on with Jamie.'
