אחות לפליאדות

Do lives follow a route, the way imaginary lines link stars into pictures of a bull, a hunter or a wagon? In this novel of many voices, each character feels that a course was laid out and that at some point, somehow, they veered from it. Naming the reason, when they can, makes it no less random, and meaning keeps escaping them. Burdened by hopes that were never fulfilled, they break off relationships or revive them and search for sense inside themselves, in other people, and among those who deal in suffering: healers and sorcerers, physicians and therapists, scholars, self-appointed prophets and gurus.
