What is it about?Angela Meerson is a psycho mathematician who is working on a device that can transport people to another dimension. The problem is that they can only access one dimension, and Angela is convinced that it is actually their own dimension on a different timeline. When her boss decides to sell her invention as his own and ignores her warnings of danger, she must take matters into her own hands.
How was it?This book is confusing because it has three distinct timelines with multiple character perspectives that seem to be at a different points within those time lines. (For example, Rosie wanders into the professor’s cellar while he is out-of-town, but he doesn’t actually leave town until two chapters later.)
Once I got used to the odd rhythm of the story telling, I was really intrigued by the story. I wanted to follow it through to the end to find out how it all was connected. The ending tied it all together but left a lot of unanswered questions about what happened to the characters. On the bright side, this allows you the freedom to really think about the story and decided where you wanted it to go.
I think this book was well worth the read.
BonusThis book made a reference to a beautiful poem by William Henry Davies, called Leisure.
What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty’s glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.
What a beautiful reminder to stop and enjoy your life. Perhaps with a good book?
Happy Reading!
