I think this story may be difficult for you to understand at first,but it makes us think about life and death.If there were the Parallel World,do you want to go there?If you were Max,could you change?

This story is about a bored and lonely housewife. Marina and her husband, Tom, live in a small village outside London. Marina stays at home all day doing housework. Tom works in London.

At first, I didn't really like this book. The style of the writing tries to be funny, but it didn't make me laugh so much. However, I gradually got more show more and more interested in Marina and Tom's story, and I enjoyed the book much more than I expected. show less

One day, strange person came to Max. The strage man's name is Gerald. He explain the parallel world,and he bring max to there.

I felt it was a so deep story. People select a lot of things in daily life.I thought how to select make your future. In this story,real world max is a killer,but another Max is a priest.there were big difference.I was so interested in this thinking.
