Azalea is found wandering a local fair when she is just three years old. She is adopted, moved to Africa, and then returns to England. Her life includes a series of coincidences and she is determined to figure it all out. Do we have control of our own destiny? Or is everything in our lives predetermined? Are coincidences just things that happen? Or more?
This is also a love story. Azalea finds Tom, a professor who has studied coincidences. Together they talk (and talk and talk) about Azalea's life and all the turns it has taken.
I enjoyed this book and the ideas it presents. And the story of her life in Africa was intriguing. I do think there were times when the author got bogged down in the debates about fate vs fact, and the author never reveals how he feels about it all. And the ending was not all it could have been. But it was an interesting read. -June
