About this ebook

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.

    This book was not at all what I was expecting. I thought it would be similar to The Time Traveler's Wife or The Dream Daughter, but it was more science fiction than a love story. It was more like a series of short stories about Thora and Santi and the revelation that ties everything together wasn't until the very end of the book. It was well written, it just wasn't for me. Thanks to NetGalley for the digital ARC.

    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.
