Bringing new meaning to the term "family saga," this innovative novel by the author of The Heart's Invisible Furies is the story of a father, mother, and two very different sons, and their stories will intertwine and evolve over the course of 2,000 years. From Palestine at the dawn of the first millennium and journeying across 50 countries to a life among the stars in the third, the world will change around them, but their destinies remain the same—it must play out as foretold.
