I’ve seen this one before: person discovers object from the past, (musical instrument, religious item, painting, piece of jewelry) and at least 3 tales about the object in different centuries are told. Usually in the modern story, the discoverer has some sort of affair with, like a museum curator. But stringing together barely related stories around an object doesn’t necessarily result in a novel that’s satisfying to read. If fact, this format is getting shopworn. The first tale about a soldier in post-WWII Europe was compelling. Not so much the rest.
