I adore books that stir me up and make me think about our world differently. In this novel we witness a doctor of psychiatry doing some existential exploration as well. Months after giving birth Jane experiences bizarre episodes of amnesia. Without any clear diagnostic answer . . . overwhelm, sleep deprivation, and postpartum conditions are all being considered by Dr. Henry Byrd. After observing Jane on several occasions, her reality seems as delicate and thin as a lace curtain that can easily be pushed aside; a fragile veil between an alternate multiverse. It is easy to be skeptical of her unusual experiences and chalk it all up to the magic of imagination, but what if she’s not delusional?
I highly recommend this book to fans of mysteries and speculative fiction.
I thank NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of The Strange Case of Jane O. for my unbiased evaluation. 4 stars
