The History of Soul 2065 by Barbara Krasnoff
5.0
A beautifully written book that links together history and fiction, people and stories, past and present. I love how it focuses on "ordinary" lives (that aren't ever quite as ordinary as we might believe) and the quiet, subtle magic that runs through the world.
Krasnoff's stories mix an earthy sense of realism with delicate strands of fantasy, the weird, the strange, and even science fiction, and lets us know that there are ghosts and witches at work in the everyday world we all walk through. Following a family through many years, it shows how lives intersect and divert, how people can be connected through time and space, and how we all matter in ways that we don't always understand ourselves.
