Murmuration by T.J. Klune
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Mike Frazier lives in the small town of Amorea, where he owns a bookstore, Bookworm. It is a good place. Set in a beautiful valley with endless blue skies, the people are friendly and kind and look after one another. Everybody knows everybody and like many small towns, there's a fine line between being nosy and caring. Nobody ever gets really sick. Doors are never locked, as there is no crime. Mike is in love with Sean, who works at the diner. Their relationship has been slowly growing for the past three years. It's about time, Mike thinks, to go a little further.
Utopia, yes? Maybe, maybe not. Mike's having strange dreams and seeing and hearing people who aren't there. He's seen a man disappear, only to find out the next day, it's as if nobody every knew the man existed. . Why are there no children? No cars? Why can't anybody remember their past? Where do all the starlings come from? Reality itself is shaky--at least for Mike. Something's wrong.
Something's going on. Is Mike having a breakdown? Will this threaten his relationship with Sean, which has become so important?
This is a love story and tale of identity and the nature of reality. I love this novel. I loved Sean and Mike. I loved how Klune weaves into the story the necessary research to build this too-perfect town, this island reality. The answer to Mike's questions are startling and unexpected.
Recommended.
