Early Reviewers
When bookseller Tavish McCaskill stumbles upon an incredibly rare Kabbalistic manuscript penned five hundred years ago by a legendary rabbi, he is convinced that it’s a forgery. How else could it include quantum equations that were developed in the twentieth century?
But closing this matter isn’t as simple as closing a book. Soon, Tavish sets off on a pilgrimage through Switzerland, an esoteric adventure that could mark the beginning of an extraordinary new life—or a desolate and meaningless end. Along the way, Tavish grapples with fellow pilgrims who flicker between friend and foe, the dissolution of his family, and a lingering feeling that he’s living the wrong way, in the wrong time, with the wrong people, in the wrong... universe. Could this enigmatic text hold the answers to even his most unanswerable questions? Erudite and bizarre, poignant and engrossing, Jamieson Findlay’s third novel is a masterful spiritual journey.
