Book Description

Publication Date: September 21, 2007

ALTERNATE REALITIES

This is the tale of the many possible lives of Anastasia Valerie Stein which come to touch one another through a twist in the fabric of space-time: Ann, unhappy wife and mother in a world much like our own; Val, independent teacher in a timeline of scarcity; Stacey, a free spirit with two lovers, and Tasha, strangest of all, a professional sorceress in a world where the Third Reich rules England. Together they join to confront a force that manipulates all their worlds, and discover a truth that transcends their individual lives.

Finch combines compelling, believable characters, the ancient magic of the Tarot, and quantum physics to weave a spellbinding tale of the infinite possibilities of space and time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating tale of multiple lives intersecting in time, September 23, 2000

"Look in the mirror, Ann." A gap . . . a void . . . a black infinity . . . terror . Her mind cleared as if she had stepped out of darkness into lamplight; her own face stared at her. She knew the light brown hair, the pale eyes, the high cheek bones. Then, as she watched, the dimensions of time and space flowed together. She felt as if she were at the center of a cyclone whose contours were the fabric of the universe. . A thousand projections of her self flashed across the face in the mirror: some older, some younger, some younger, some sick, some in vibrant health, some as she had never known herself to be . Bewildered, her mind hovering on the brink between clarity and chaos, she half-turned. Behind her, another Ann turned in bewilderment, and another behind that one. The corridor formed by the two mirrors opened up Iinto infinity, and she was stepping into fog . . . air beneath her feet . . . darkness . One of the mirrored Anns screamed .

2.0 out of 5 stars Seen better, July 23, 2003

This review is from: Infinity's Web (Paperback)

I thought this book had a good premise, but it failed to live up to my expectations. If you think the idea of paralell worlds sounds fascinating, go rent Sliding Doors. This book was too preachy. Finch tells the story as if she's trying to convince you that this is the way the world actually is. Instead of finding interesting ways to explain how her fiction could be science, she uses a lot of jargon that sounds almost-good and expects you to fall for it. This is not science-fiction; it's just fiction.
