Arcadia by Iain Pears

4.0

Marvelous!! Only my self-imposed rule against give 5 stars to books I have read at least twice prevents me from giving this a higher rating. So I'm putting it on my planning-to-re-read shelf.

I especially like the concept around which the novel is written, which, for want of a better term, I will call "narrative cosmology". But as interesting as that concept is, it is the multi-textured plot and engaging characters that make the story so wonderful.
