No Two Persons by Erica Bauermeister (AF 2023)... "My novel... was inspired by the saying 'no two persons ever read the same book'. It's the story of nine readers and one novel that changes their lives for ever. It's the story of how books can affect us in the most beautiful and unexpected ways - and how we are all more closely connected to one another than we might thinnk."
