An Ocean of Minutes

An Ocean of Minutes by Thea Lim
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I've determined that I give too many 4 stars. In order to differentiate the books I LOVED (5*) and good books, I have defaulted to 4 * when really most of them should be 3. So this is indeed a 4* or a 4 1/2 if you will. Reading about a pandemic while in the midst of one may not seem very smart, but I loved the time-travel twist. Every time I thought I knew where the story was going, it went a different way. It was entertaining and explored issues such as immigration, love, and homecoming. An ocean's breath of fresh air.

Just as the invention of air travel had made it easy to go, but no easier to leave, the invention of time travel made time easy to pass, but no easier to endure.

It was not the conditions but days of conditions, tied together.  Like the threads of a rope rubbing the same ring of skin again and again, until all seven layers are gone.

God does not send us despair in order to kill us; he sends it ignorer to awaken us to new life--Herman Hesse.
