This multifaceted verse novel by Karen Comer, the author of the award-winning Grace Notes, weaves together the voices of three young women who live one hundred years apart.

Miri is studying for Year 12 in 2025 and is passionate about psychology; then she accidentally gets pregnant and must decide whether to keep the baby. Her boyfriend, Jonah, is a keen environmentalist, who is planting trees that will be used to turn 100 unpublished manuscripts into books in 100 years' time.

In 2125, Aleita spends time in the library created to house the 100 books that will be published. The library is one of the few places where people are safe from ‘jolts’ to their neural implants – devices that are meant to have health benefits but also encourage people to shop and reproduce. Aleita is volunteering with a group that is studying insidious patriarchal jolts directed at women, and suspects that her grandmother’s recent death was not an accident but caused by the implants.

Interspersed between these two stories is a fairytale about a talented young weaver who can only weave the truth in her creations. When she is chosen to weave for the king it is a great honour, but also life-threatening, because the king has committed terrible crimes that he doesn't want revealed.

These three stories are all related, but we don’t discover how until the spellbinding conclusion. Reading this engrossing novel about strong young women filled with creativity, inspiration and love is an enthralling journey. Writing it was surely an act of faith in our uncertain future. Highly recommended for readers aged 12+.
