I'm a little late to this party since Kayleigh has been raving about Andrew Sean Greer's The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells for ages, but I read it over the weekend and had to share how much I loved it!
Greer's writing is beautiful and his story moved me (how sappy is that?), but it's exactly what happened. Greta Wells is a 31 year old living in NYC in 1985. In quick succession her beloved twin brother, Felix, dies and her long time partner, Nathan, leaves her. Bereft and inconsolable Greta tries electrocompulsive therapy which ends up transporting her to parallel lives in 1918 and 1941.
Greta learns about herself and her other selves as she switches between each era, and discovers ways to cope with her pain and ultimately create a happy life for herself.
The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells received a starred review in Library Journal and I have 5 galleys to give away, so if you'd like one please email me your mailing address.
