New York Times bestselling author Jodi Lynn Anderson's epic tale—told through three unforgettable points of view—is a masterful exploration of how love, determination, and hope can change a person's fate.
2065: Adri has been handpicked to live on Mars. But weeks before launch, she discovers the journal of a girl who lived in her house more than a hundred years ago and is immediately drawn into the mystery surrounding her fate.
1934: Amid the fear and uncertainty of the Dust Bowl, Catherine's family's situation is growing dire. She must find the courage to sacrifice everything she loves in order to save the one person she loves most.
1919: In the recovery following World War I, Lenore tries to come to terms with her grief for her brother, a fallen British soldier, and plans to sail from England to America. But can she make it that far?
While their stories span thousands of miles and multiple generations, Lenore, Catherine, and Adri's fates are entwined in ways both heartbreaking and hopeful. In Jodi Lynn Anderson's signature haunting, lyrical prose, human connections spark spellbindingly to life, and a bright light shines on the small but crucial moments that determine one's fate.
My Review:
This was a pretty great read. It's not an action packed book, it's slower and deals with moving on and it's quiet. The writing was lyrical, and I enjoyed learning about these different characters and learning how they were connected.
All of these characters are on the verge of leaving. Adri to leave Earth, Catherine to leave her small town farm during the Dust Bowl, Lenore to leave England after WW1. Change is uncertain and hard, and they all face it. I really enjoyed watching their journeys!
In each section were had a different method of communication. Adri's sections were as regular book. Catherine's first section was diary entries, and her second section and Lenore's sections were letters that they wrote. I enjoyed how they were all connected, and how Adri learns about Catherine and Lenore's story, and Catherine finds out about Lenore's! It was so well written!
This book was kinda melancholy, which goes with all the change that they're going through. And while both Catherine and Adri's fates are uncertain, there's hope, and I would like to imagine the best lives happened for them!
Yeah, it's not my usual book, but I did enjoy it!
