This book was introduced to me thru an online book club. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I am not one who reads syfy or books about creatures or the paranormal - not really my taste. This book does border on mind bending ideas and illusions, however.
I will not give away the story plot, but I will tell you that this book came about because of a group of very old photographs. The author decided to write a story around the photos - photos of people he never knew. The story is intriguing - keeps you reading and even referring back to a picture, a time or two. Have been told that the pictures accompany this book on Kindle - altho they are very small and hard to see. The pictures help to make this book what it is and you would not want to miss out on them. Have heard this may be made into a movie - one I would go see.

I hope that this author continues this story - hopefully with a whole new set of old photos.

I have now seen the movie - in 3D - and loved it - however you can't compete with an original - the book!
