Nikola Tesla, dreams, time travel, electricity, what might have been, facts and fiction - all woven together with Hunt's very beautiful writing. It's thought-provoking but easy and fun to read.

The focus of her book is on motherhood, with poems reaching out into wider issues as well. They are moving, and humorous, and thoughtful, and a joy to read.

The way she writes kept me reading, even though I didn't think I wanted to know this much about the florist industry. She's filled the book with descriptions of some very interesting characters, which I think is its strong point.

The title intrigued me, but it has a mystery label on its spine, and I don't usually read mysteries. I kept looking at it on the shelf, liking the title, disliking the genre. Finally I decided to give it a try, and after I read it I kept suggesting that others read it too. Yes there's some physics mentioned in it, and yes, eventually there's a mystery, but mostly it has a good story, very nice writing, memorable characters, and a plot that keeps you interested.
