Woman on the Edge of Time
by Marge Piercy
It’s about a 37-year-old called Connie Ramos who starts communicating with a character from the (or a) future called Luciente. What’s really brilliant about this novel is that it could obviously all be in her head, about the way we create our own realities and how our sense of reality is totally determined by our own mental states. But it could be that Piercy is saying that this is possible – it is true that through the actions of a particular time, different futures occur.
