No one writes intricate twisting plots like Pears. In Arcadia, we start off with 3 different worlds which will start intersecting in fantastic ways. You need to pay attention to everything going on in this book; Pears doesn't put any scenes in just for the fun of it. Like all his more literary works this has multiple levels - you can read it as is, but there are a lot of allusions as well. It's definitely lighter in tone, and easier to get into, than most of his others (excepting the mystery novels). I really liked that it has both a terribly tragic ending, and a happy ending at the same time.
