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.
"With its beautiful parts that add up to a brilliant whole, No Two
Persons made my reader's heart sing."--*Nina de Gramont, New York
Times bestselling author of The Christie Affair
