Told as a series of first person narritives (except for one of the short stories) these stories all interlink even though they are set in different countries, in different eras and with different characters.



What each story has in common is that the protagonists all share a birthmark, shaped like a comet, and it is as if this commonality is the only thing that binds these stories together, as if each person maybe a past or future incarnation of another...



We live alongside each character as we read their story.
