Meet Me in Another Life
Book Feature - Meet Me in Another Life by Catriona Silvey
HBL Note: Debut author alert! I love featuring debut authors for a number of reasons, but primarily: 1) it is difficult to break through the barriers to get published, so I like to use this platform to help get their book into the hands of readers; 2) new voices are exciting and it is fun to discover a new author (they just might be a new favorite!) Do you ever wake up some mornings and think, Oh joy, another day of doing the exact same thing as yesterday, and the day before, and the day before? Does life sometimes feel monotonous? This book is about finding meaning in that monotony.
“It’s a novel for anyone who’s felt like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day or Natasha Lyonne in Russian Doll; for readers of The Time Traveler’s Wife; for those of us —like the character of Thora in MEET ME IN ANOTHER LIFE – whose favorite movie is Contact.”

From the publisher:
In MEET ME IN ANOTHER LIFE, Thora and Santi are strangers in a foreign city when a chance encounter intertwines their fates. At once, they recognize in each other a kindred spirit—someone who shares their insatiable curiosity, who is longing for more in life than the cards they’ve been dealt. Only days later, though, a tragic accident cuts their story short. But this is only one of the many connections they share. Like satellites trapped in orbit around each other, Thora and Santi are destined to meet again: as a teacher and prodigy student; a caretaker and dying patient; a cynic and a believer. In numerous lives they become friends, colleagues, lovers, and enemies. But as blurred memories and strange patterns compound, Thora and Santi come to a shocking revelation—they must discover the truth of their mysterious attachment before their many lives come to one, final end.
By turns joyful, devastating, and quietly profound, MEET ME IN ANOTHER LIFE is a spectacularly compelling page-turner filled with shocking twists that affirms the power of love to connect us beyond time and space.
