Introduction

SOME STORIES CANNOT BE TOLD IN JUST ONE LIFETIME.

Harry August is on his deathbed. Again.

No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Nothing ever changes.

Until now.

As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. "I nearly missed you, Doctor August," she says. "I need to send a message."

This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.

Our club felt that the character pretty much wasted his lives and was not a tale a redemption that we had hoped for. Some beautiful writing, but would only recommend to certain people

Others in our book club did not like it but most didn't finish the book. You have to get 1/2 way through before it picks up.

"The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August"by Carole T. (see profile) 09/09/16

I probably would not have read this book if it hadn't been a suggestion by my book club. It is a novel of constant rebirth and death but with a purpose. I was the only person in my club who enjoyed this... (read more)
