Rave\"This is indeed an accomplished novel by a poet. The complex and poetic plot structure is as intricate and multi-layered as the innards of clocks that populate the story. The startling language, precise and profuse metaphors and breath-taking lists that kaleidoscope our attention are the magic of poetry. The philosophical underpinning of interconnection is accomplished with delicate, pervasive persistence ... We readers are in on the histories, the atmospheres, the tragedies of characters who don’t necessarily know that they are existing in continuity with one another or in situations that have existed before – \'intrusions of one world into another.\' The intricate workings of these interconnected parts is never labored. Spaar’s dexterity and precision keep the reader entranced on every page.\
