Riassunto

A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU is an epic space and time bending new trilogy by NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Claudia Gray about a girl who must chase her father s killer through multiple dimensions.

A thousand lives. A thousand possibilities. One destiny.

As the daughter of two prominent physicists, Marguerite Caine is no stranger to wild scientific theories. Her mother's latest invention is a device called the Firebird, which allows people to leap into other dimensions and has catapulted them to instant fame. But then Marguerite's father is murdered, and her parent's research stolen. All the evidence points to their enigmatic assistant Paul, but before the law can touch him, he slips into another dimension.

Marguerite decides to take matters into her own hands and go after Paul. As she chases him through various dimensions, Marguerite encounters different versions of herself there's a futuristic London where she's a club hopping orphan, a Tsarist Russia where she's royalty, and a dimension eerily similar to her own where her father is alive. But as she gets closer to Paul, she realizes she may be chasing the wrong guy...and the truth behind her father's death is more sinister than she could ever imagine. And Marguerite is swept into an epic love affair that feels both deeply fated and terribly dangerous.

Her grandparents' copy of mysteries of the unexplained is probably the genesis of her fascination with most things mysterious and/or inexplicable.
