The book's imagery is both bright and evocative, painting a vivid picture of the kinetic dance between humanity and nature. Its lyrical and sometimes poetic prose beautifully underscores the fragility of human existence against nature's awe-inspiring power. Remarkably, the story's prescience, written before the COVID-19 pandemic, resonates even more profoundly in the wake of our global experience, blending scientific acumen with the soulful insight of an artist.
At its core, this is a love story that celebrates life, exploring the far-reaching impact of our choices and the interconnectedness of all things. The storytelling is rich and tender, giving even the mosquitoes a voice in this intricate tapestry of life. The narrative is both unsettling and haunting, taking the reader on a mystical journey through the protagonist's thoughts and dreams, where spirits and disease-carrying mosquitoes lurk.
JJ Brown's background as a molecular biologist adds a layer of authenticity to the story, enriching it with her deep understanding of genetics and DNA. The audible version, narrated beautifully by Marnie Karger, enhances the experience, making it a smart, moving, and thought-provoking listen. This book is a testament to the power of storytelling in bridging the gap between science and the human heart.

The story interplayed beautifully a kinetic, human-nature dynamic and I think makes a beautiful, lyrical, and at times poetic case for the fragility of humanity against the awesome power of nature and its layered magnificence.
It’s particularly compelling to me, and I’d say prescient, that the story predated Covid. The author’s scientific understanding meshes brilliantly with an artist’s soul and savvy, making for a compelling, moving, witty, image-rich, and heartfelt read.
At heart, this is a love story that celebrates life.
A Beautiful Story!

The reader is taken on a bizarre and mystical journey through Antonios thoughts, and dreams, where she is haunted by spirits and deadly disease carrying mosquitoes. When she returns from Puerto Rico, she faces not only the results of her lab tests, but the consequences of her own actions. The author’s deft and vivid handling of the details of both physical and psychological place are impressive and well done.
I read this novella soon after it came out, but this new audible version is beautifully narrated by Marnie Karger. It is smart, moving, and deeply thought-provoking.
Lyrical, unsettling, and haunting
