A special kind of book - an exciting story where words and ideas are full of life and its complexity. Abigail and Fludd are on the run from a war, attempting to find peace and also the missing pieces of the mysteries of themselves. Each chapter begins with two torn fragments of parts of three lines: they can, fascinatingly, be read singly, together or as part of a whole. The chapters too are fragments of a journey, linked by the continually reappearing 'disillusionists', Flabberfound and Dumbgast, with damaged people trying to heal themselves in a damaged world.
