This is one of the best SF novels I have read in a long time.
Jason is an ordinary physics professor at an ok college. However, in his 20s he was something else-a man on the edge of greatness. Then he met Daniela, and she became pregnant, and he was faced with a choice: marry the women he loved and start a family or stay on the course he was on and possibly win the Nobel Prize. He decides to marry. Does he regret the choice at times. Of course, but we all regret the choices we have made and at times we wonder what our life would be like if…. This novel tries to answer that question.
It is a novel about the road not taken, about regrets, about love, about what is important in life. It is about identity. It is about the multiverse. It shows that our choices and what we make of them are our responsibility. It’s about a lot!
I became invested in these characters, even in the multitude of Jasons. After all, like “our” Jason, they only wanted their family. However, I do wish Crouch had given us a hint about what happened to Amanda.
The ending took me by surprise.
It is well worth reading.
