The same figures recur across versions, slightly altered, as if each life is a draft of the last. The red shoes pass between them, sometimes as object, sometimes as echo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"1144\"\u003eParamaditha uses the format to strip the illusion out of it—showing how lives branch, yes, but also how they’re constrained, redirected, predetermined. You move through the book, but it keeps insisting on the limits of that movement. Truly unique, and well worth the read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1128\" data-end=\"1131\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1158\" data-end=\"1214\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2020 Harvill Secker (Penguin Random House UK) paperback.
