About this ebook
The professor has always preferred to let things play out rather than get involved, be it her failing marriage, her troubled adult children, or college departmental politics. This changes when she's approached by Mitra Leninov, a transfer student from Iran. Leninov presents a strange Latin manuscript, Pluvia, Ostium, Laboribus (Rain, Venom, Toil), that must be translated by none other than the professor herself. But as the professor begins translating the story, chapter by chapter, Leninov vanishes in a swirl of rumor and accusation about who she really is. The professor must decide whether she believes the evidence around her as to the fraudulence of Leninov, or whether to trust the student and learn what deeper truths lurk beneath the surface.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very strange book, but I did read Vita Nostra, which was a lot more complicated, so 5 stars should be the rating, because the ending made sense in context. A story for the academically inclined, those interested in the relativity of truth when multiverse and other lies are concerned. Just as we never learn the name of the main character, we never learn what happened, save if we're willing to fill in the gaps.
