Wow. It just keeps getting better. While the theme of Bitter Weeds was the power of small choices by ordinary people, in this volume we see the theme of divided loyalties. How each character belongs to a number of groups -- family, ethnicity, nationality, faith community, etc -- which may overlap to a greater or lesser degree, but will often pull the character in multiple directions at once. Aleck, a British baronet who retains strong ties to his mother's Kentucky home. Siobhan and Sean, at once both Irish and Jewish, looking to the heroes of both peoples as role models. It's a complex story told across a broad canvas in a time of turmoil in a world that might have been -- or might exist sideways in time, if the Many Worlds Interpretation is correct.
