Kathrin is happy to live her peaceful life in small-town USA before a man kidnaps her and pulls her away from home. But as she spends more time with her captor, Lucas, Kathrin soon realizes that where they are is a long way from home. Both must travel back through various time periods from 2000 BC to 2014, not fighting off hordes of barbarians or Roman armies, but by reconnecting with the roots of what it means to be a part of society. Where they are seems less important to them than where they wish they were. Kathrin and Lucas, both desperate for more social connections, learn to spend time with each other, traveling the world through different ages and learning how their knowledge of the future can influence the worlds that influences them. Through Influence, Sophia Nesigt captures our imaginations, questioning what we would think of telling our ancestors of our current way of life, and forcing us to reconsider what we think defines success or right from wrong. Plunging readers through the ancient civilization of Harrappa all the way to the US invasion of the Dominican Republic, Nesigt offers a refreshing break from the expected tales of the ancient Romans or Egyptians to take us through cultures rarely mentioned. The result is a humbling journey through the world with two characters pleasingly down to Earth and their encounters with well researched and investigated counterparts from different epochs.
