Description

International Bestseller! Soon to be a major motion picture starring Gal Gadot!

“Inventive, bold and surprising . . . Builds in suspense and emotion, revealing itself page by page, layer by layer. Cleverly constructed and highly entertaining.”  — CHARLES YU

Recommended by Popsugar • Bustle • Goodreads • Tor • Mashable • BookBub • io9 Gizmodo • Lambda Literary • BookRiot • CrimeReads • The Nerd Daily • and many more!

For fans of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and Life After Life, a poignant genre-bending debut novel about a man and woman who must discover why they continue to meet in different versions of their lives—a thrilling and imaginative exploration of the infinite forms of love and how our choices can change everything.

Thora and Santi have met before.

Two strangers in a foreign city, Thora and Santi meet in a chance encounter. At once, they recognize in each other a kindred spirit—someone who is longing for more in life than the cards they’ve been dealt. Before their friendship can blossom, though, a tragic accident cuts their story short.

They will meet again.

But this is only one of the many connections they share. Like satellites trapped in orbit around each other, Thora and Santi will find each other again: as husband and wife; teacher and student; caretaker and patient; cynic and believer. In recurring lifetimes they become friends, partners, lovers, and enemies.

Only they can make sure it’s not for the last time.

As strange patterns and blurred memories compound, Thora and Santi come to a shocking revelation. They must work together to discover the true reason behind their repeating realities . . . before their many lives come to one, final end.

Booklist Review

Thora and Santi meet star-gazing in Cologne outside a ruined tower. Or they meet as teacher and student, with Santi trying to encourage Thora's fierce love for the sciences. Or they meet as lovers. Or they meet as parent and child. As lives come at them like waves, some constants hold true: Santi's grumpy cat, Thora's flawed love for Jules, Santi's sister Aurelia, Santi's on-again, off-again girlfriend. As the two science lovers become slowly aware of their interconnected lives and start to investigate the mystery of how they appear again and again after death and meet each other in Cologne, the unfurling science-fiction riddle leaves them reexamining their own beliefs and identities. The gift of this novel is rooted in Thora and Santi's complicated and inescapable friendship and their whirling arguments over fate and faith. Silvey has crafted a steady, satisfying build of a novel, a character-driven set of stories dotted with uncanny glimpses of different worlds, all of which come together and crescendo into revelations that will leave the reader reeling.
