And my hope-desperation twofer had led me way outside the box, all the way to a Willow Green allotment in fact, where, God help me, I was waiting to meet a bunch of people who even the most charitable among us would label “raging nut-job weirdos. They decide to meet at the Euston Station, under the clock-Bee in a red coat-Nick in a tweed jacket. In this way, Lotz has her characters consider everything from technology to environmentalism to war, in a consistently entertaining and interesting way. When the relationship is better than all her random Tinder dates Bee suggests meeting but somehow the two can’t find one another at the designated spot and soon realizes they are worlds away.

Enduring Antarctica’s sub-zero temperatures and pulling a sled that initially weighed 375 pounds—in complete isolation and through a succession of whiteouts, storms, and a series of near disasters—O’Brady persevered. The voices and personalities of Johannes and his comrades are endearing; their unique story will enchant readers and encourage them to focus on what is most important in life. The science of the time travel element isn’t focused on too much - This is a story of people and their struggles.Obviously the pair hit it off, as messages go zooming back and forth across the wires, ether, or whatever, and we get to the big Deborah Kerr/Cary Grant rendezvous scene. The artwork, the paper quality, the gilded edges, and the carved wooden cover all make this a book lovers dream! This unusual story will leave you with food for thought as the author looks at the ease with which we form online relationships while touching on all that is wrong with our world. There are plenty of humorous scenes and weird and wonderful characters – Tweedy, the elderly County type, showing Nick how to use a gun; Magda and Jonas, Bee’s elderly neighbours who epitomise lifelong devotion as a couple; Erika, Nick’s no-nonsense Nordic landlady – among others.

I’m just going to tell you exactly what I knew going in because, in my experience so far, doing so makes this book much more intriguing to people who might otherwise dismiss it. Her normally mild mannered date rapes Lucy, then flees and kills himself by driving his car into a tree.I mean really, what would you do if you found the one, but were precluded by the laws of physics from realizing your dream?

Besides the characters and their relationships, Impossible is also a well written novel with a gripping plot. This is galling for the original Nick, who is a literary hack, ghost writing for authors with limited talent. The plot itself, whilst very outlandish, did keep me engaged, and the ending itself was both somewhat unsettling and yet also felt right. He lives in an urban park by the sea, and every day, he runs through the park, seeing all, missing nothing, and reporting what he sees to the park’s three ancient Bison, the Keepers of the Equilibrium. Soon armchair sleuths and professional investigators are on a collision course with a sadistic serial killer who’s gotten away with his crimes for far too long – and now they’re in his sights.

Packed with hilarious anecdotes about the reality of setting up a new party, it takes the reader on a journey through building the entire apparatus in an impossibly short time frame; losing key players to enemy action; and facing chaotic scenes created by a cat’s cradle of legal complications – before arriving at the conclusion that politics is much more difficult than it looks. Impossible at first glance seems to be yet another tale of modern day faerie, where cruel otherworldly beings derive their entertainment at the suffering of mortals.
