Somehow this delightful book escaped my notice until it turned up in a street library one day. It’s always fun to see a beloved author trying out some new ideas, and there’s some interesting parallel universe stuff going on here, but quite different to what he explored in the Long Earth series. This is much more about relationships, culture, survival and community, with a bit of world building thrown in.
