" It
started with my father's death. At least, that
was how it seemed at the time. Now, looking
back, I realize how impossible it is to be
sure where anything really begins; or, for
that matter, where, or even whether, it has
ended". Dealing with his dead father's effects,
George Daly finds a photograph, apparently
of himself as a boy. But he has no memory
of the other people in the picture, or of
where it was taken. As a writer of books
dealing with the fine line between reality
and the unknown, George becomes fascinated
by this; and by other material he discovers
which suggests there may be a secret in his
past of which he has suspected nothing. As he begins to investigate, a series of
remarkable coincidences occur, provoking
George to start work on a book about the
meaning of coincidence (or "synchronicity")
itself. Eventually, however, he discovers that some
coincidences may not be as innocent as they
seem. |
