On this Thursday episode, V chats with Martha Conway about her newest book "We Meet Apart"
When World War II shuts down ocean travel in 1940, two American sisters are trapped in Ireland—but in different realities. In 18-year-old Gaby’s world, and true to history, Ireland has claimed neutrality and is not fighting in the war. But in 17-year-old Sabine’s world Germany has invaded Ireland, and as an enemy alien she must survive on the run.
Both sisters believe the other one has died. But when they each arrive at a grand Irish manor owned by distant relatives, they find one another again. For one hour at dusk—“the time of pookies and ghosts” in Celtic tradition—their two worlds overlap. However when Sabine falls in love with a German officer in her reality, a man who is charming but devious in Gaby’s reality, even this short time together is threatened.
In the tradition of Haruki Murakami, where other worlds reveal themselves in tantalizing glimpses, WE MEET APART explores the notion of an existence after death. It asks the question: Can you ever let go of the family you’ve lost? And should you?
