| This story is not like the other fantasy stories that you have read. In this story, we look at the lives of several people who are considered as different in this world. The main character is Alan. He is a middle-aged man who just moved to Toronto and is working as an entrepreneur. He is different because his father is a mountain and his mother is a washing machine. His brothers are: a dead man, three Russian nesting dolls, a fortuneteller and an island. Alan himself is different, because although he looks like a normal human, he can heal immediately and if he cuts off his leg, the leg will grow again. He is a social person and makes friends very quickly. His new friends are his neighbours: Kurt, Mimi, Link, Natalie and Krishna. Kurt is a man determined to bring free wireless to Toronto and to whom Alan helps with his idea. Mimi is a student girl, who is born with wings on her back. Her boyfriend is Krishna and he cuts off her wings every three months and abuses her. It seems that Alan’s life gets better, but then, problems start appearing. His brothers return to his world. His dead brother comes back for revenge, the three nesting dolls try to save their lives and want Alan’s help, and his last brother doesn’t return. And, this is not the end, but on the contrary, it is just the beginning. |
