It’s her tests that result in disruptions in the other timelines. She has been conducting experiments involving time travel that most of her colleagues interpret as multiverse travel. Scientist and psychomathematician, Angela Meerson, is the character on which all three timelines hinge. Each of the those timelines have chapters from the perspective of various characters within them. From there it branches into a three alternative futures. The “trunk” of the narrative tree takes place in the 1960s in Oxford, England. I particularly enjoy novels written from multiple perspectives, and Arcadia did not disappoint.

Arcadia by Iain Pears was released in the UK in September 2015 and has now had its North American release on February 9th 2016.
