Alice knew she wanted to tell a story and after several years she was able to complete her novel titled Theo. It wasn't an instant success. The rejections kept coming until finally, someone recognized just how special this book was. It would impact its readers in ways Alice couldn't have foreseen.
NO TWO PERSONS by Erica Bauermeister introduces readers to nine of the readers of Theo. They are a varied group who come from different walks of life. Perhaps by fate, each person comes into contact with the book when they need it the most. The character development is brilliant. Each person is vividly brought to life and their stories will resonate with readers long after finishing this novel. While the characters don't interact with each other, there is an invisible, palpable bond that connects them. As for the conclusion--it is cleverly done.
NO TWO PERSONS is a compelling and unique book that is well worth reading. Highly recommended.
One book. Nine readers. Ten changed lives. New York Times bestselling author Erica Bauermeister’s No Two Persons is “a gloriously original celebration of fiction, and the ways it deepens our lives.”*
That was the beauty of books, wasn’t it? They took you places you didn’t know you needed to go…
Alice has always wanted to be a writer. Her talent is innate, but her stories remain safe and detached, until a devastating event breaks her heart open, and she creates a stunning debut novel. Her words, in turn, find their way to readers, from a teenager hiding her homelessness, to a free diver pushing himself beyond endurance, an artist furious at the world around her, a bookseller in search of love, a widower rent by grief. Each one is drawn into Alice’s novel; each one discovers something different that alters their perspective, and presents new pathways forward for their lives.
Together, their stories reveal how books can affect us in the most beautiful and unexpected of ways—and how we are all more closely connected to one another than we might think.
