MEET ME IN ANOTHER LIFE
Is it possible to remember someone you've never met?
Thora and Santi are strangers in a foreign city when a chance encounter brings them together and intertwines their fates. Thora thinks she's finally found a kindred spirit with the same intelligence, offbeat humor, and desire to look up instead of straight ahead. But days later, Santi is cruelly taken from her in an accident.
But this is just one of the many connections they share. Like two satellites trapped in orbit around each other, Thora and Santi meet again: as a nurse and dying patient; a teacher and prodigy student; a cynic and a believer. In numerous lives they become friends, colleagues, lovers, and enemiesbut how and why? When ominous patterns begin to emerge and the lines between worlds blur, Thora and Santi come to a shocking revelationthey must discover the truth of their strange attachment before their many lives come to a final end.
By turns joyful, devastating, and quietly profound, Meet Me in Another Life considers provocative questions about life and fate. Can we chart the course of our destinies? Do we control our choices - or do our choices control us? Catriona Silvey has created a spectacularly compelling page-turner filled with shocking twists that is also an affirmation of the timeless power of love to connect us beyond time and space.
Catriona Silvey was born in Glasgow and grew up in Perthshire and Derbyshire, which left her with a strange accent and a distrust of flat places. She overcame the latter to do a BA in English at Cambridge, and spent the next few years there working in scientific publishing. After that she did a PhD in language evolution, in the hope of finding out where all these words came from in the first place. Following stints in Edinburgh and Chicago, she returned to Cambridge, where she now lives with her husband and a very peculiar cat, working as a researcher studying meaning in language and writing in her spare time. Her short stories have been performed at the Edinburgh International Book Festival and shortlisted for the Bridport Prize.
