The stories are presented as broken fragments, woven together by profound truth and an astonishing connection that transcends the boundaries between this world and the next.
by Chris Katsaropoulos
Amelia, Holly and Tris, the characters of this literary novel, are indeed fragile. Each is broken in one way or another, shaped and constrained by their relationships with others — basing their individual framework on how people see them.
They have lived their lives as fragments of their whole selves, searching day to day for the missing pieces to make themselves whole once more.
Their stories are presented as broken fragments, woven together by profound truth and an astonishing connection that transcends the boundaries between this world and the next.
Katsaropoulos introduces a writing technique that emphasizes the broken lives of his characters. With mid-sentence transitions between fragments of text from each character’s viewpoint, he weaves together these fragile lives until each experiences their defining moment of realization.
