From the back of the book:
A beautiful young woman, a boy, his dead brother. Three people, three destinies - in three very different stories. In the squalor and wonder of nineteenth-century New York the machine age is born; a modern metropolis is in thrall to the threat of random terror; and on a future Earth otherwordly life has arrived. In each the trio take different roles, altered but recognisable, travelling toward some strange, beautiful redemptive end.
