    About this ebook

    Years ago Eanid Dupuis’ husband stranded her in Paris while conducting research from the transitive dimensions. The discovery of the book that will send her home sets Eanid on a collision course with an African refugee, a book vendor, and the true meaning of freedom.

      I listened to the Audible version of this and immediately after ordered it in print because I feel like I need to re-read it, giving each story the time and attention it really deserves. This is a beautiful hybrid of short-story collection and novel; a single, albeit disjointed narrative, told in richly varied stylistically tales. The prose is fluid and elegant, and there is a rich, mature, and deeply emotional thread to this work that a lot of other works just can't deliver. My first exposure to this writer, though I can guarantee it will not be my last.
