Synopsis:
A nonlinear, interlocking novel set largely in Manila that follows three separate story strands whose characters and events converge around violence, love, fate, and choice.
One thread follows gangsters and a chase through the streets; another centers on a middle-class mother at home with her children, remembering her past and first love; the third follows street children and a wealthy psychiatrist studying their dreams.
As secrets surface and the storylines fold back on each other, the book’s structure echoes the idea of a “tesseract,” a four-dimensional figure, with cause-and-effect connections revealed across time and perspective.
