What is going on between the covers
No Two Persons is a captivating and heartfelt exploration of books’ impact on readers’ lives. It relies heavily on the power of a story trope and explores it uniquely. The beautifully woven narratives show how one book affects nine readers, each connecting differently to the story. It’s more than how readers connect to a story through their experiences. It’s also about how authors pour their hearts into their characters and stories. Aspiring writer Alice is at the story’s heart, after experiencing a devastating event, she pours her heart into her book. Her book finds its way to diverse readers, including a homeless teenager, an ambitious free diver, an enraged artist, a bookseller, and a grieving widower.
My Two Cents
Lately, I have read a few books with the trope “the power of a story,” it seems to be a book trend, and I am a sucker for that theme. I read very few books where the characters don’t teach me something, or I see something different than I did before reading it. I loved how No Two Persons explores that while using an interesting and unique structure as we see how readers engage with stories and their impact on different readers. I loved how Alice’s story opened the characters’ minds, and they discovered new perspectives and paths forward.
“When Nola was young her mother used to tell her that books were like a giant neighborhood where every family is different, and every door was open. You can just go on in. Try on a new life. See how it fits.”
I loved the way the stories celebrates the power of literature through the distinct characters, each with their own hopes, struggles, and desires and I enjoyed the way I connected with the relatable and compelling character in some way and like Nora I find books to answer questions and tell the truths that people can’t or won’t say.
I mostly listened to the audiobook and loved the cast of narrators. I loved that a different narrator tells each chapter with a character connecting to Theo. I enjoyed listening to the different voices of each character, and it was easy to engage with the characters while enhancing their connection to Theo. I highly recommend listening to the story.
I received a copy of audiobook and digital from the publisher through NetGalley
