David was sent by his employer, Charlie’s grandfathers best friend (Peter, I assume). He is there to take Charlie to New Britain where it is safer. There’s a new virus on the rise, the worst yet

Ok so Charlie and David have been meeting weekly. She recounts the story of getting setup with her husband, he’s definitely gay, both sterile. He prob goes to meet a man the nights he disappears. While i’m not overly in love w this section of the book i like how it’s flipping bw Charlie’s present and her grandfathers past

I like how all the sections are told in a different way. Currently in 2093 where our narrator is married and the world is very different (we don’t know the gender or name of the narrator). Now reading letters from someone to ‘Peter’; i’m assuming the author is the narrators Grandfather

David’s father’s section of the book saaaad

David fell asleep with the letter from his father which Charles ended up reading. Currently in part 3 which is a first person account from David’s father

Edward is a con artist and poor Charles:( David’s grandfather reveals to him correspondence from Edward’s adoptive mother about who he truly is

1893 alternate America - the Free States formed by David’s family. In this world, anyone can marry anyone - all David’s family is married to same-sex and his grandfather has set him up with an older lad. Very wealthy family
