No Two Persons: A Novel
When Alice creates a stunning debut novel, her words find their way to nine readers and each one discovers something different that alters their perspective. Together, their stories reveal how books can affect us in the most beautiful and unexpected of ways—and how we are all more closely connected to one another than we might think.

What a beautiful ode to books, to reading them, abandoning them, loving them, hating them, and perhaps most importantly, being altered by them in a way that resonates in your fundamental being.
The book centres around a book (haha) that is sent out into the world after a tragedy unspools the story out of its author. What follows are 9 anecdotal yet almost serendipitous encounters with the book, and how the book set, changed or completely obliterated the path before the lives of its readers.
Sure, with each chapter focusing on a different person’s encounter with the book, one can easily see the ‘seams’ of this story, but Erica Bauermeister masterfully weaves in tale after tale to talk about all those things - as the professor’s character suggests - human beings are willing to do to and for each other.
A profoundly thoughtful, most poignant read to invoke joy, sorrow, heartbreak and beauty.
A solid 5

This book has a very fresh and innovative premise which is carries out beautifully. I'm surprised we haven't heard more about this book. I recommend it highly.
This book was recommended to me and I am so glad because I truly loved it. Each time a new story began I thought there was no way I would care about yet another character and yet, I always did. I loved all the individual stories and how they all connected together. Beautifully written.
