Netzer's sophomore effort is a love story like no other. Irene, a brilliant astrophysicist, believes in science, not love. George is convinced everything on the planet, from the stars to the living beings, has a twin soul. He just hasn't found his yet. These two individual forces spiral toward each other and come crashing together in a world-comes-to-a-standstill moment that appears to be destiny but might actually be part of a great master plan. As George and Irene balance the fine line of fate, old secrets are exposed, and true love is put to the test. Netzer's poetic storytelling results in a surreal yet believable tale of two lives intertwined more than they could have realized. As in the author's first novel (
Shine, Shine, Shine), the imaginative characters are full of eccentricities, adding a touch of humor to a story that's also tinged with remorse and regret.
VERDICT Recommended for all literary fiction fans. This would also make a great book club selection for anyone who has ever pondered soul mates and the role individuals play in controlling destiny.
