The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire NorthNo matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Nothing ever changes.
Until now.
As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. ‘I nearly missed you, Doctor August,’ she says. ‘I need to send a message.’
This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.
Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader.
"The second cataclysm began in my eleventh life, in 1996. I was dying my usual death, slipping away in a warm morphine haze, which she interrupted like an ice cube down my spine."
The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice.

"Why, in all my years in the east, had I not bothered to learn even a little kung fu?"
I'm excited to finally read this book! It's a book I need to finish to accomplish one of my challenges for this year's Booktube-a-thon.
Happy Friday, everyone!

ReplyDeleteHi Ellen and Sierra-
ReplyDeleteWelcome to this meme. It is one of my favorites because it highlights the books I am reading without me having to think too much (just copy out a few quotes) and then I get lots of ideas from other bloggers of books which also sound good, like the book you are highlighting here. My goodness this book sounds good,
