Rendition Concering Books Arcadia

In Cold War England, Professor Henry Lytten, having renounced a career in espionage, is writing a fantasy novel that dares to imagine a world less fraught than his own. He finds an unlikely confidante in Rosie, an inquisitive young neighbor who, while chasing after Lytten's cat one day, stumbles through a doorway in his cellar and into a stunning and unfamiliar bucolic landscape—remarkably like the fantasy world Lytten is writing about. There she meets a young boy named Jay who is about to embark on a journey that will change both their lives. Elsewhere, in a distopian society where progress is controlled by a corrupt ruling elite, the brilliant scientist Angela Meerson has discovered the potential of a powerful new machine. When the authorities come knocking, she will make an important decision—one that will reverberate through all these different lives and worlds.

4.5 stars Definitely a candidate for a reread. Audiobook was excellent.

This is the kind of book that makes you wish you could crawl into it and live there.

A Brilliant Juggling ActScience fiction, fantasy, and dystopia are not normally my favorite genres. But I do respond to intelligence and culture and the ability to dance across boundaries as though they didn't exist. And I am a sucker for a good story well told with interesting characters, all guided by a strong moral sense that is not too simplistic. Iain Pears enfolded me in mystery and delight from the first few pages of his new novel and held me in his spell for five hundred more. In the

With Arcadia Iain Pears is trying an experiment: He wrote a novel whith several interwoven storylines which can be read in the traditional way from cover to cover. At the same time he created an app which depicts how the storylines are interwoven and which enables the reader to read the different stories independently and switch from one to other whenever feeling like it or one two or more of the characters' meet. All of this sounds great and it was great to read and to work my way through the

Wonderful, wondrous, delightful, enchanting! All of these words are too small and commonly used to explain my reaction to this beautiful book. It's one of the best books I've read all year and I will revisit it often. I've decided that goodreads needs to create invisible shelving because I can't properly shelve this one and keep it spoiler free.This wonderful story starts with a man named Henry meeting with some friends and discussing the books that each wants to write. As Henry is writing his
