My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
From the cover:
"Divided by time. Ignited by a spark.
Kansas, 2065. Adri has secured a slot as a Colonist—one of the lucky few handpicked to live on Mars. But weeks before launch, she discovers the journal of a girl who lived in her house over a hundred years ago, and is immediately drawn into the mystery surrounding her fate. While Adri knows she must focus on the mission ahead, she becomes captivated by a life that’s been lost in time…and how it might be inextricably tied to her own.
Oklahoma, 1934. Amidst the fear and uncertainty of the Dust Bowl, Catherine fantasizes about her family’s farmhand, and longs for the immortality promised by a professor at a traveling show called the Electric. But as her family’s situation becomes more dire—and the suffocating dust threatens her sister’s life—Catherine must find the courage to sacrifice everything she loves in order to save the one person she loves most.
England, 1919. In the recovery following the First World War, Lenore struggles with her grief for her brother, a fallen British soldier, and plans to sail to America in pursuit of a childhood friend. But even if she makes it that far, will her friend be the person she remembers, and the one who can bring her back to herself?
While their stories spans thousands of miles and multiple generations, Lenore, Catherine, and Adri’s fates are entwined."
Like the description says, this book follows three different timelines. Adri is staying with a distant cousin on her farm while she waits to leave for Mars, and while there she finds a postcard written by a woman named Lenore. Curious, she starts searching for more information about this mysterious Lenore, and she eventually discovers letters written by Lenore and Catherine in time past. The three timelines weave together, each woman facing different challenges but also tied together by common threads.
Adri, always unable to connect with other people, finds herself unable to let go of Lenore and Catherine's stories. Who were these mysterious women? How were they connected to her family? And most importantly...what happened to them? As the date of her launch to Mars draws closer, she finds herself more and more desperate for answers. Will she learn what happened to the women in those letters? Or go to Mars always wondering what tied the three of them together?
