‘We can fix what we have done. We can undo the mistakes our ancestors made. We can set right what has been done wrong... You are the first step.’

In a silverware shop, a young wife works alongside her husband. Amid growing political turmoil, Bea finds solace in the local marsh, where she is visited recurrently by a mysterious presence, logging each appearance carefully in a scarlet journal. In a time like now, Kay navigates friendship, queerness and the temporary job market, whilst contemplating the significance of her life in a world with such an uncertain future. At her grandmother’s house she finds an intriguing record of an angel’s visits. A hundred years into the future, outsiders have banded together to live off-grid away from a corrupt government and a city wracked by oppression and climate change. When Ess is chosen for a virgin mission, a journey into the past to save the present, she is guided only by a well-thumbed red notebook… Set against the shifting scape of East London marshes and expanding over three centuries, this is the breathtaking, urgent story of three women separated by history but threaded together by unknown forces.©2025 Roisin Dunnett (P)2025 W.F.

Love the slow, distinct building of each timeline and the characters within each part of history. The believable mandananity and terrible progression of our world. The way characters and geography begin to subtley overlap, or overlay each other. The mystery of the observers, or guides. Was faintly annoyed and distracted by the artifact of key characters not being named but only initialled...did I miss some significance?

Female dominated, quietly queer positive, intriguing look at human hope, pessimism and survival?

Takes absolutely ages to get going, and when it does, it has very little of interest or substance to say. Has very confident, well executed prose with 3 excellent narrators - but I walked away feeling nothing and with no strong memories.

Confident, slow, pointless
