Throughout her travel, Cara was able to see different worlds and different versions of people and what made them tick.
She was set in her ways and she knew how the world worked. The Space Between Worlds begins with a very jaded Cara. However, I would suggest an attempt because quite frankly, this book is beautiful. If you’re offended by raw material or crude language, much like Johnson’s Grandma Tree, this book is not for you. It was beautifully and unapologetically raw (except for the dedication page where the author, Micaiah Johnson, apologized to her grandmother). The raw nature of the Johnson’s writing style in this book was also what I needed at that point in my life. It was ultimately one of my favorite books I have read in a long time. The Space Between Worlds was part sci-fi and part thriller.
What she discovers will connect her past and her future in ways she could have never imagined-and reveal her own role in a plot that endangers not just her world, but the entire multiverse.
So long as she can keep her head down and avoid trouble, Cara is on a sure path to citizenship and security.īut trouble finds Cara when one of her eight remaining doppelgängers dies under mysterious circumstances, plunging her into a new world with an old secret. She even occasionally leaves the city to visit her family in the wastes, though she struggles to feel at home in either place. She works-and shamelessly flirts-with her enticing yet aloof handler, Dell, as the two women collect off-world data for the Eldridge Institute. Identified as an outlier and therefore a perfect candidate for multiverse travel, Cara is plucked from the dirt of the wastelands. Now what once made her marginalized has finally become an unexpected source of power. She has a nice apartment on the lower levels of the wealthy and walled-off Wiley City.
On this dystopian Earth, however, Cara has survived. Cara’s life has been cut short on 372 worlds in total. Enter Cara, whose parallel selves happen to be exceptionally good at dying-from disease, turf wars, or vendettas they couldn’t outrun. Multiverse travel is finally possible, but there’s just one catch: No one can visit a world where their counterpart is still alive.
