A review by noranne
Arcadia by Iain Pears
5.0
Really had no clue what to expect with this one, just needed an audiobook to listen to and this one was available without a hold from the library. But wow, one of my favorite books I've read in a while!
There are 3 separate time periods/worlds going on, and they manage to all be interesting and connected in interesting and sometimes obvious sometimes devious ways. I enjoyed all of the characters, even the ones I didn't like, and there were enough twists and turns to keep things fun but without being pulled out of nowhere.
It's kind of like Narnia and Looper and Stranger Than Fiction all mashed up into one and some Cold War spy fiction thrown in for good measure. Very fun read. I can imagine that it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it most certainly was mine!
