Hey Stuart, I really enjoyed your book, one of the best ive read in recent years. After finishing the book, i am still wondering why Evelyn left the boy in the cave all those years ago. what was her thinking other than the fact that she could get away with it? Im afraid i missed something, but i cant come up with a reason for why she would just leave him for dead. again, thank you for writing a fantastic book.

(view spoiler)[Hey Amir - she did it because she could, because she knew she'd get away with it, and because she wanted to know how it felt. She did an an absolutely horrible thing, because she was curious. It's monstrous. Can you do me a favour, and mark up your question as a spoiler? I don't want other people accidentally stumbling on it. Cheers mate. (hide spoiler)]

Hello Mr. Turton! First and foremost, thank you for the blessing that is your debut novel! I absolutely loved it! My mind is still reeling from all those twists & turns! Congrats on your success and I do hope to read more from you in the future! I was wondering, are you planning on exploring more of the world you built in this novel? The mechanisms behind the loops through the exploration of another loop perhaps?
