Like Wilson’s other books, this is an intensely humane story of people caught in the midst of strange circumstances. The characters’ specific situations couldn’t exist without the mysterious monuments from the future that change the world and their individual lives. But the griefs, joys, loves, fears, and hopes they feel are the same as ours and Wilson makes it easy for readers to care as much about them as he does. This is a heartbreaking yet deeply satisfying story, and I’m very glad to have read it.
