There are three storylines in this book: 15th century Constantinople,
present-day Idaho, and
a futuristic spaceship.
Libraries play an integral role throughout all of the stories, as places of sanctuary and gateways to knowledge: accessible to all.
Although beautifully written, the stories jumped about; were difficult to follow at times and far too detailed in parts.
The construct was reminiscent of David Mitchell's The Cloud Atlas, unfortunately it just didn't really work for me.
