Ok, so I'm writing this well after I read the book (call it laziness on my part) but I took a long hiatus from writing my reviews much to my chagrin now because it is hard to remember books from many months ago. So, after jogging my memory about this book from reading a few reviews, here is a very brief and high-level summary.
I started this book on October 13 and finished it on October 19.
So, this is a doozy of a time-travel, time-loop, multiple people from multiple timelines in the same place at the same time.
This starts in the early 1900s with Edwin arriving in Canada from England and in his time there has a "vision" in the Canadian wilderness of a man playing a violin in a futuristic-looking place.
Two hundred years-ish later, an author, Olive, who lives on a colony on the moon is on Earth doing a book tour. Her book contains a bit about a man playing a violin in the hallway in an airship terminal surrounded by a forest.
The the time-travel component comes up. Gaspery is a detective investigating an anomaly in the Canadian forest. Throughout his investigation he discovers a series of events that are intertwined in a variety of ways.
Buckle your seatbelt and get ready for a topsy turvy wild ride through this book. It is good. It is confusing. You should read it.
