Produktbeschreibung

Physics wunderkind Fleur Robins, just a little odd and more familiar with multiple universes than complicated affairs of the heart, is cast adrift when her project to address the climate crisis is stalled. Worse still, her Ethiopian-born fiancé Assefa takes off right after her 21st birthday party to track down his father, who's gone missing investigating Ethiopian claims to the Ark of the Covenant.

Fleur is left to contend with the puzzle of parallel worlds, an awkward admirer, and her best friend Sammie's entanglement with an abusive boyfriend. Assefa's reconnection with a childhood sweetheart leads Fleur to seek consolation at Jane Goodall's Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve, but it's through a bumbling encounter with her rival that the many worlds of Fleur's life begin to come together.

In the experience of tizitathe interplay of memory, loss, and longingFleur is flung into conflicts between science and religion, race and privilege, climate danger and denial, sex and love. With humor, whimsy, and the clumsiness and grace of innocence, Fleur feels her way through the narrow alleyway between hope and despair to her heart's sweetest home.

Autorenporträt

Scott was born in Northern Wisconsin in 1951 and matured in the 1960s in Detroit, Michigan and the California desert. He's a hippiehe believes in peace, compassion, nature, and beauty. This is what he writes about.

He's highly educated. He's spent 60 percent of his life in school. He didn't like school. In fact, he hated it. He found very little peace, compassion, nature, and beauty in school. Just the opposite. His higher education is in music, not creative writing or English. Go figure. Or if there are any professorial types out there you can smirk and say to your scholarly friends, "It figures."

In his 40s, while still writing his Ph.D. dissertation, and suffering from academically induced PTSD, he got into a rock band and wrote lots of song lyrics. Hence, he became a poet, and never finished his degree.

He's also a classical guitarist and painter. He's married to a fabulous master gardener, humanist, poet, and novelist. Between them, they have four wonderful adult children and a beautiful grandchild.
