Review: Kaleidoscope World by Tomica Scavina

Kaleidoscope World by Tomica Scavina

Description:
A collector of kaleidoscopes and lousy relationships, Dahlia Kasper leaves her possessive alcoholic mother and moves from New York to Barcelona. In search of lost bits of her childhood, she starts living in an apartment where her father was murdered when she was four. As soon as she enters the apartment, strange things begin to happen.

Her favorite kaleidoscope becomes a gateway to another dimension where she encounters a ghost of a famous physicist from the 19th century who tries to persuade her that reality is like a moth-eaten sweater - full of holes. He needs her to help him plug up these holes and save the world from vanishing, while the only thing Dahlia really wants to save is her sanity.

This is just a part of Dahlia's problems. An elderly cello-playing neighbor turns her emotional world upside down and her longing for lost home takes her further than she ever imagined she could go. To collect all the scattered kaleidoscope-bits of her life together, Dahlia needs to go through an intense inner transformation that takes courage and a sharp sense of humor.


My Thoughts:
Dahlia is an interesting character. She has gone back to her childhood apartment to get away from her mother and try to figure out her life. This book is very different. There were some very bizarre parts, but just couldn't stop reading. Interesting psychological thriller with a mystery.

My Rating: ****
Steam Factor: !!
