The Expert of Subtle Revisions

By Kirsten Menger-Anderson

A genre-bending historical mystery steeped in memory and misfortuneIn Half Moon Bay, California, 2016, a young woman awaits her father's sailboat to arrive at port. They have agreed to meet on this day and time. Yet he never shows.In 1933, a young man arrives in Vienna to begin a new post as a professor of mathematics at the University. There he finds himself part of the Engelhardt Circle, a group of intellectuals that have recently been dubbed a target by a growing anti-academic mob.From the very first pages, the reader knows this is no ordinary novel: the narrator tells us her name is not her name, her father is not her father, her birthday is not her actual birthday. She and her father have lived off the grid for as long as she can remember. Since she has no social security number, she does odd jobs for cash to make ends meet, and spends her free time editing Wikipedia entries and picking fights with people online. Who is she? And what does she have to do with a community of intellectuals who met in Vienna on the eve of World War II?The Expert of Subtle Revisions is perfect for readers who loved Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and The Time Traveler's Wife.
