Looking forward to reading more by Kate Hope Day! ( ) This book is fantastic. I burned through it. It's suspenseful, and has good speculative elements, and very compelling characters, and multiple plotlines. It's multiple POV, and has great, positive LGBTQ rep (including the only sex scene in the book). Would definitely recommend. CW for natural disasters. Would recommend to fans of The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore. This is a quiet literary novel with a speculative premise. It is about three rather typical families who live on a cul-de-sac in a small town in Oregon underneath a supposedly dormant volcano. As the novel alternates among points of view of four different characters, they begin to catch glimpses of a world that doesn't exist: a dead mother come back to life or alternate versions of themselves. These visions spur each character to make choices that will alter the course of their own lives. Yes, this is a novel that uses the multiverse as its premise, but it's really a meditation on the choices we make and those we don't, the possibilities we create for ourselves. In the end, it seems to say that it's not too late to choose something different for ourselves, that our lives are not necessarily random outcomes of fate (although that does play a part). I liked that, but I think anyone expecting something more science fictiony will be disappointed. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"In the quiet haven of Clearing, Oregon, four neighbors find their lives upended when they begin to see themselves in parallel realities. Ginny, a devoted surgeon whose work often takes precedence over her family, has a baffling vision of a beautiful co-worker in Ginny's own bed and begins to doubt the solidity of her marriage. Ginny's husband, Mark, a wildlife scientist, sees a vision that suggests impending devastation and grows increasingly paranoid, threatening the safety of his wife and son. Samara, a young woman desperately mourning the recent death of her mother and questioning why her father seems to be coping with such ease, witnesses an apparition of her mother healthy and vibrant and wonders about the secrets her parents may have kept from her. Cass, a brilliant scholar struggling with the demands of new motherhood, catches a glimpse of herself pregnant again, just as she's on the brink of returning to the project that could define her career. At first the visions are relatively benign, but they grow increasingly disturbing--and, in some cases, frightening. When a natural disaster threatens Clearing, it becomes obvious that the visions were not what they first seemed and that the town will never be the same." --Amazon.com.
