This book turned out to be an odd coincidence in a couple fo ways. Firstly, there was part of the story that hinged on brain plasticity - the subject of a recent that book I read. The other is that the story includes some narrative from the time of the Spanish ‘flu pandemic and the contemporaneous timeline introduces a new pandemic. None of this topicality was obvious from the blurb.
Overall, it was a good read, with lots of short chapters, which is a great way to coax me further - just one more chapter … I did find some of the geography and the multiple characters with aliases slightly confusing towards the end. There are a fair number of twists in the plot, which is good. I found the ending [at least there is one!] a little weak.
