Summary:
Max Tivoli is uniquely cursed. His mind ages properly, but his body ages in reverse. Born with the withered -body of a 70-yr-old man, Max grows physically younger each year, while his intellect matures. Despite this crippling torment, Max manages three times to cross paths with Alice, the person who captures his heart. Because he appears to be a different person each time they meet, Max is given three chances for true love.
A Story of self-discovery and sacrifice set against momentous historical events – including the Great San Fransisco Earthquake and World War 1 – The Confessions of Max Tivoli is a spellbinding materpiece.
