Coming back to a world that was not quite the same world I'd lived in all my life was spooky on so many levels, it was overwhelming. But it had also changed it in massive, chaotic ways." Matilda soon learns that the entire structure of society has changed completely, as have the lives, and even the names, of many of her friends from the earlier books. If you think you are confused, so is Matilda: "I'm not going to lie. She'd lived until today, just a few minutes ago when I'd found myself standing in the kitchen…My going back in time was supposed to save the world. "In this world…Evelyn had been the one who had woken up when my brother had tried to transfer my mind into her body. When Matilda went back in time (at the end of the second book) to save the world by changing the Wings of Mercury experiment, the effects of her actions caused huge changes in the world as she knew it.Īs this book opens, Matilda realizes that she is in a different time line (aka timeway). In the second novel, the characters traveled from one place in the world to another, but in this book, all of them but the heroine stay in one general area.

In a neighborhood that roils with passions and conflicts, at the foot of a cathedral that rises higher day by day, there grows a generation marked by violence, cruelty, and extreme selfishness.

The Stuart family moves to a marginal neighborhood of Cienfuegos, a city on the southern coast of Cuba. Haunting and transcendently twisted, this English-language debut from a Cuban literary star is a tale of race, magic, belief, and fate I started moving toward her through the water.
