A tale of thwarted love set in a place where the boundaries between the real and the virtual are dangerously blurred, and where your dearest memories may not be your own. A place where desire for a single person is heresy. Welcome to the Virtuality.
Patrick clings to poignant memories of his earlier, illicit relationship with Eva. When she goes missing, he embarks on a journey that takes him to the dark heart of The Virtuality.
He comes to realise that his own memories of grief for his deceased mother and his fractured relationship with Eva are fundamental to the very functioning of this virtual world—a world that doesn't want you to leave. Ever.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
Oddly this book uses the same obscure piece of landscape - the Stanford marshes- as my novel 'Rivers of Silver' , though I had never met Rick until recently at an authors event. This work is a strange mix- a 80/20% type of novel. 80% is fine writing ,challenging but atmospheric, however 20% is very experimental and does tend to break up the narrative flow- perhaps younger readers more attuned to virtual reality and gaming, will appreciate it more than me.. Interesting though.
