Some lovers take you to the most romantic places in the world. Very few take you to the most romantic times in history. Sophia is living a normal student life - studying, drinking, acting in her spare time - when Alexander appears in her path. At first he simply seems odd, a man out of place in the 2010s. Then she learns the truth - he has the means to travel through time, and uses this to search for the most extraordinary, beautiful experiences in the history of civilisation. Soon Sophia finds herself being whisked off on a series of impossible dates - to the 60's French Riviera, Mozart's Bohemia and medieval Persia - but can this be a normal relationship? Who is Alexander? What does he see in her? And is there a dark secret behind The Connoisseur's search for the meaning of beauty? -- The Connoisseur is an ongoing story with irregular updates - a new job and new home have seen off my bi-weekly posting schedule! - but I hope to keep the chapters flowing at a steady pace.
