Meet Me in Another Life

I won't forget this brilliant novel in a hurry. Beautiful written, it tells the stories of Santi and Thora who keep meeting in different lifetimes in Cologne, at different ages and with different relationships to each other. The plot is gripping and the author skillfully releases hints of what's happening all the way through, though it is not easy to guess what's happening. The magic of the book though comes through the beautiful way she writes about the characters and their relationships and how they change over time. This is a deeply philosophical novel that certainly makes you think, but without being overtly complicated or inaccessible. It crosses genres and is totally different, and I hope it wins the awards it deserves.
