About this title

Synopsis:

Manifestations of a writer named Christy, Saskia, who believes she was born on a Web site, and Christiana, the writer's "shadow-self" who is made up from the writer's cast-off personality traits, find their virtual lives threatened by a mysterious computer crash that whisks Saskia into oblivion. 50,000 first printing.

Review:

"A commentary on our increasingly computerized lives, a gorgeous love story, and a heroic fantasy bundled into one masterwork of fiction."

"A new vision of interwoven realities--highly recommended."

"Like great writers of magic realism, De Lint writes about people in the world we know, encountering magic as part of that world."
