Riassunto

Three interlocking worlds. Four people looking for answers. April, 1960: In the cellar of a professor's house in Oxford, fifteen-year-old Rosie goes in search of a missing cat -- and instead finds herself in a different world. Anterwold is a sun-drenched land of storytellers and prophecies. But is this world real -- and what happens if Rosie decides to stay? Meanwhile, a rebellious scientist is trying to prove that time does not even exist -- with potentially devastating consequences. As the three worlds come together, one question arises: who controls the future -- or the past...?

Recensione:

A tour de force of imagination. (FT)

The finest pure storyteller working in popular fiction. (Malcolm Gladwell)

A near-perfect take on the perils of a parallel universe. (Independent)

Ambitious, amusing and very readable. (Spectator)

A pleasure to read . . . Captivating. (Sydney Morning Herald)

A rollicking good read. (Metro)

A captivating literary thriller. (The Hobson, Auckland)

In Arcadia, the writing is assured, and Pears quickly draws the reader in with short, episodic chapters that quickly invite you on to the next section: if anything, the 10 opening scenarios are each so compelling that it would be easy to read them as 10 linear stories. (Irish Times)
