I have to admit, that it took me time to get into this unique novel. I'm so glad that I stuck with it! I love when an author stretches the boundaries to come up with an original novel. Ms. Elan's writing is truly amazing! Her characters, plot and setting created a one-of-a-kind read, that will have her readers thinking about this novel, long after they have finished it. So, I would recommend giving this one time. For me personally, it did take time to get into the uniqueness of the storyline. I highly recommend giving this one a try.
In a dazzling ode to human inventiveness and desire for meaning, four lives are entangled across time by one unfinished story, saved to a floppy disk in the 1980s and destined to ripple across the centuries.
