The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells by Andrew Sean Greer

3.0

I love the concept of this book and there is some truly beautiful prose amidst its pages. However, I was disappointed by the execution. There could have been so much more insight into what each time period meant for the characters. With insight into the mind of only one character from one time period we lose out on so many possible perspectives. Without the additional perspectives, I felt the similarities of each life were stressed far more than the differences so instead of fulfilling the potential of three different stories lightly linked, it remained one story stuck on repeat.
