This joyful family saga about free will, forgiveness, & interconnection poses a question: are we free to create our own destinies or are we just part of a system beyond our control?
"At the heart of Svensson’s tumultuous epic lies a perennial query: Are our lives simply random intersections of space & time, or are they part of a grand master plan of the universe, where we are all but cosmic marionettes & nothing is coincidence?" — The New York Times
In October 1989, a set of triplets is born, & it is at this moment their father chooses to reveal his affair. Pandemonium ensues. Over two decades later, Sebastian is recruited to join a mysterious organisation, where he meets Laura Kadinsky, a patient whose inability to see the world in three dimensions is not the only intriguing thing about her. Meanwhile, Clara has travelled to Easter Island to join a doomsday cult, and the third triplet, Matilda, is in Sweden, trying to escape from the colour blue.
Then, something happens that forces the triplets to reunite. Their mother calls with worrying news: their father has gone missing & she has something to tell them, a 25-year secret that will change all their lives.
"Amanda Svensson’s raucous, sprawling debut takes on the enigmas of our origins, riddles of human consciousness & animal cognition, doomsday cults, & the most bedevilling of mysteries – the minds & choices of our closest intimates." — The 2023 International Booker Prize Judges
