Coming across this book on NetGalley, the description- "One book. Nine readers. Ten changed lives. New York Times bestselling author Erica Bauermeister’s No Two Persons is “a gloriously original celebration of fiction, and the ways it deepens our lives"- is what encouraged me to request a copy. Alice writes a book and we get glimpses of how it has an effect on the lives of multiple people. Moving forward in time and place we see how her novel shaped the lives of those who read it.
I enjoyed many of the characters, seeing the lives and watching how the book shows up. I was a bit disappointed in not getting more of their stories-but that's one of the points of the book-we don't always get to know. It's also a little slow in the beginning-I didn't start to enjoy it until I was half way through.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a copy to read.
