After the death of her beloved brother and a break with her longtime lover, Greta Wells resorts to a radical remedy to combat depression - she agrees to electroconvulsive therapy with Dr. Cerletti. But the treatment has an unusual side effect: Greta seems to be transported from her 1985 life to another life, which she could have led with the same family and friends in 1918, and then in 1941. And with each therapy session, two “other” Greta Wells also travel – a bohemian adventurer from 1918, a faithful wife and mother from 1941. Each reality has its own rewards and losses for Greta, each reality has its own price. But what happens after the final therapy session, when each Greta remains in her own life? And which one - which one? For the first time in Russian - the latest cult hit from the author of the international bestseller “The Incredible Story of Max Tivoli”, about which John Updike himself said: “For Greer, as for Proust, life is just an exile from reality into loneliness, a set of ghostly mirages that can to capture the single pen of a genius.”
