A long, complex, alternative history of America set in three cleverly linked time frames. 1893 when people live and love as they please, 1993 during the Aids epidemic, and 2023, a dystopian future, governed by totalitarian rule, devastated by climate change and ongoing pandemics. Throughout all of this, is love enough to protect against discrimination, be it on grounds of sexuality, race, politics or social position? Sounds bleak, but it’s engrossing and unforgettable and I loved it.
