This is an amazing book. Six mini-novels, nested inside each other, each told in a different genre, a different voice, from a different time period -- the 1800's to a far future dystopia, tied together by threads of history. And each one, short as it is, is a totally absorbing tale told by fascinating and believable characters.It is a clever and wise and completely original look at the human race and the migration of souls through time.
