A sect of sensual medieval heretics stumbles upon the secrets of quantum entanglement, a centuriesold wanderer thrives on rebellion as well as blood in the ruins of postWWI Munich. Antiausterity demonstrations lead to haunting connections with past and parallel events, while quantum computing meets welfare reform in our nearfuture. Meanwhile, persecuted Jews in early 20th century Russia must decide whether extraterrestrials are allies or the schnorrers out of space.The stories of Rosanne Rabinowitz span the centuries in a remarkable mixture of European history and the familiar world of modern Britain as well as some alltoolikely near futures. These stories are rooted in the spirit of resistance and rebellion without ever feeling didactic. They are coloured with a sense of the fantastic, the surreal and even the mystical rubbing shoulders with the reality that arises from every street, every shout of fury or peal of laughter, every dizzying glimpse of human possibilities.All together as they are here, they weave a cyclical sense of the ebb and flow of power and tyranny and resistance, yet the end result is not hopeless but quite the opposite. Just like so many of the characters in Rosannes writing, as we read these stories gathered in one volume, we begin to see ourselves as living with echoes of and surrounded by the past. That the struggle is ongoing does not make it seem futile instead, we are connected, for as one character notes, what we call time, and history, exists...
