Reviewer Janice Eidus says: ‘With remarkable insight and intelligence, 136 talented writers across a broad spectrum of geography, generations and genres delve deeply into the meaning and nature of synchronicity, coincidence, luck, fate, bashert and kismet – and the very enigma of human existence.’ From reviewer Neela Vaswani: ‘Here are brief encounters that sprout generations; split seconds of ruin; sudden migrations, lust, and strife. These pieces remind us to cling to life’s lessons with grace and humor.’”
