It at first appears to be a copy of the Proust novel À la recherche du temps perdu saved in plastic.
The fictional Ruth and her husband live in a small village on a sound, where the ocean waves still manage to deliver a package. Ruth is the present-day narrator who shares with her author creator being a writer and a Buddhist priest living in British Columbia. Throw in quantum physics, Schrodinger's cat and folklore about crows, and the result is a heavyweight novel that is easy to absorb and worthy of contemplation. This foundation also provides an emotional and moral center to the tales of three women, what they believe and the love they feel that is grounded in their beliefs. What gives the novel its philosophical foundation are the beliefs of its author, who is a Buddhist priest. Time, our place in time and our place within a social structure are focused on in Ruth Ozeki's Man Booker Prize shortlisted novel, A Tale for the Time Being.
