Thomas Post is an expert on coincidences. He’s an authority. People come to see him, to ask him if he can explain strange events that have befallen them, and he can always explain these things away. We poor humans, he would say, have a tendency to make patterns out of random shapes, or to construct meaning from the random behaviour of the universe.
But one day Thomas gets a visit from Azalea Lewis, and his world will never be the same again. For Azalea’s coincidences seem to go off the scale. The lives of Thomas and Azalea become entwined, their destinies entangled. And now, with Azalea apparently dead in a foreign land, Thomas must reassemble the pieces of her life in search for the patterns that drove it. And that means he must try to unravel the coincidences that so afflicted her.

Reviews
This is an absorbing and unusual novel suffused with intelligence, charm and humanity and I highly recommend it.
This story twists like a pretzel, the author teases and tantalises the reader, and it's delightfully unexpected.
A love story that is also a story of ideas...The love story between Thomas and Azalea is touching and gently written.
