I was reading about the end of the universe when I got a text message from my friend Libby . . . If Kelsey Newman's theory about the end of the time is true, we are all going to live forever. But for Meg - locked in a dead-end relationship and with a deadline looming for a book that she can't write - this thought fills her with dread. Stuck in a labyrinth of her own devising, Meg knows that there must be a way out. And a wild beast living on the Devonshire moors, a ship in a bottle, the science of time and a knitting pattern for the shape of the universe all have a crucial part to play in Meg's release. Smart, entrancing and buzzing with big ideas, Our Tragic Universe is a book about how relationships are created and destroyed, and how a story might just save your life.

Never thought I'd like a book about a writer with relationship problems. The plot screams out boilerplate chick lit. But in OUR TRAGIC UNIVERSE the plot is like a dumb mannequin dressed in a cool coat of philosophy and science. Articulate and funny characters made me care about the mostly commonplace events. "Mostly" commonplace because the story also involves magic, which also would annoy me normally but which the author handles with just the right touch to keep me engaged and "on her side."
