I am typically not a huge fan of the Science Fiction genre, but I loved this book. I inhaled it in just a few hours. Thora and Santi have a chance meeting near a tower, and later Thora sees a notice that Santi has died. But yet, they keep meeting over and over and over again at various points in their lives. They are different things to one another, and they don't know why they continue to meet.
The answer is very interesting and surprising. Their interactions are sometimes argumentative, sometimes loving. I fell in love with Thora and Santi and my heart broke for them over and over again.
Terrific story! ( )

Audiobook - fantastic narrator

Thora and Santi have met before ...

Strong sci-fi feel to this novel, probably due to the repeated lives/time loop.

Reminiscent of:
The Seven and a Half Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
and
Touch ( )

Some excellent parts. A bit too science fiction for me but had it’s moments. ( )

The title made me want to read this book. I'm always interested in time travel.

It's about a handful of characters that keep coming back life after life with different roles: teacher/student, brother/sister, husband/wife, father/daughter, and so forth. There's no mention of the dates for the different lives. The main characters, Thora and Santi, just happen to meet in the same city of Cologne where there's a tower clock.

For someone interested in a past life science fiction book, this may be a good choice. My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read this advanced copy to be released on April 27, 2021. ( )

Thora and Santi become connected to each other through one encounter which, a few days later, ends in tragedy. But this isn’t the end, they are destined to meet again and again in different lives… until one day they work out who they are and discover the truth.

At first I was quite intrigued by this story but, sadly, I began to lose interest as it progressed. I found it difficult to connect to the characters, there’s no chemistry between them, and I found the way it was played out quite confusing. I think I was expecting more of a love story, perhaps a little like The Time Traveller’s Wife. This is quite different. It’s more about a growing awareness of who Thora and Santi are and how they deal with it.

Although I enjoy a time travel tale, I’m not a big sci fi fan. I appreciate the beautiful writing, though - it is without doubt wonderfully written and clever. This book has plenty of 5⭐️ ratings. It just isn’t really my cup of tea. ( )
