description: A haunting diverse debut story collection that explores the isolation we experience in the face of the mysterious often dangerous forces that shape our livesAnjali Sachdeva's debut collection spans centuries continents and a diverse set of characters but is united by each character's epic struggle with fate: A workman in Andrew Carnegie's steel mills is irrevocably changed by the brutal power of the furnaces; a fisherman sets sail into overfished waters and finds a secret obsession from which he can't return; an online date ends with a frightening inexplicable disappearance. Her story Pleiades was called a masterpiece by Dave Eggers. Sachdeva has a talent for creating moving and poignant scenes following her highly imaginative plots to their logical ends and depicting how one small miracle can affect everyone in its wake.The world by night --Glass-lung --Logging lake --Killer of kings --All the names for God --Robert Greenman and the mermaid --Anything you might want --Manus --Pleiades
