From the back:
Since Azalea Lewis was abandoned as a child at a fairground in Devon, her life has been afflicted by unlucky coincidences. Overwhelmed by the patterns in her past and convinced she cannot escape her destiny, Azalea decides to consult an authority.
When she enters the office of Dr Thomas Post, she finds the man she collided with on a London escalator the week before. It must be fate.
But Thomas is not so easily convinced. His professional interest ignited, he sets out to prove Azalea wrong. And as he unravels the mysteries of her past, he finds that his certainties about love, life and statistics are shaken up in ways he could never have imagined...

I loved all the stories within the greater story. But the big premise, is everything that happened in Azalea's life coincidence or is there something else at work, it's never really resolved and it let to an unexpected ending. Not unexpected like: 'wow, did THAT just happen?!'. but more like 'uhm... okay, where are the rest of the pages? Is this a misprint or something?' It was very suddenly, which felt not resolved at all. Something more should have happened. But all in all, interesting novel.

Took it with me to the meeting.

Brought it back with me from the meeting. Sounds interesting. Thanks dutch-book!

Not sure what to expect when I started this, but I enjoyed it a lot. The author has a nice writing style which reads very easily. Somehow I hadn't expected that a big part would be set in Uganda, but that made it even more interesting.

On its way to a mystery BCer :)

Selected from the First Sentence VBB: "One Midsummer's Day, when she was only three years old, the girl they called Azalea Ives was discovered alone and lost at a fairground in Devon."

Thank you for sharing this book. It looks like an interesting read!

I'm not sure what I expected from this book, but it was different from my expectations. Then again, I chose the book from its first sentence alone!

I enjoyed reading it, particularly the parts that take place in Uganda. I felt just "meh" about the coincidence thread, and about the relationship between Thomas and Azalea.

I'm mailing this book to dabercro as part of the Books I've Read VBB.

This book was waiting for me at the post office when I returned home from vacation. Thanks for sending.

An interesting book. The real events of violence and abductions by John Kony and the LRA in Uganda are upsetting and under reported.

I, like a previous journaler, felt as if the book ended abruptly. It left me with many unanswered questions.

Left in the library.
