Wow that was different. I thoroughly enjoyed this intriguing book although I've never read anything similar before. One of those books I'll probably re-read in a year or two to fully appreciate.An original and imaginative book. The author is very talented to create such a complicated story and yet make it accessible and enjoyable.A brief summary of the book. Freeman is telling his publisher of his plans and research for his next book based on the idea our world is merely an echo of a Sumerland. Each subsequent chapter is a fascinating story within it's own right, detailing his "research" of incidents occurring at different times between 1908 and 2030, where the walls between this world and Sumerland have been breached. In each story either the same characters or descendants of those characters play a role. Only in the final chapter is it discovered who the Third Twine is who and why publishing the book is so important to Freeman. I did guess the final twist, but only shortly before the end.A great read, although my brain was a little tired by the end!
