Mick and his friends fought off the threats to London’s time travel alleys, but they suspect those efforts were only the beginning. So when people start getting attacked in the real world, and the time alleys start flickering with unexplained lightning, they’re pretty sure that danger is soon to follow. As the threat materializes, the Forsyth Institute once again presses Mick and his uncanny alley sight into service to protect the alleys and the kids inside them. But this time, the threat is greater than Mick expected, and its source is more shadowy and powerful than anyone imagines. Despite all their efforts on London’s streets and waterways, Mick and his friends may not be able to stop it. And even if they can, they may not be able to bear the price to be paid.

The second volume of a titanic masterpiece of twentieth-century literature, named one of the best books of 2019 by The New York Times critics. Anniversaries, Volume 2 begins on April 20, 1968. Before long Marie will be devastated by the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, even as the news of the Prague Spring has awakened Gesine’s long-dashed hopes that socialism could be a humanism. Meanwhile, her boss at the bank has his own ideas about Czechoslovakia, and Gesine faces the prospect of having to move there for work. Continuing the story of her past from Anniversaries, Volume 1, Gesine describes the Soviet occupation of her hometown, Jerichow, where her father was installed as mayor and ended up in a brutal prison camp. Gesine herself charts a rebellious course through school, ever more bitterly conscious of the moral ugliness of life behind the Iron Curtain. As the year of the novel comes to its end, past and present converge and the novel circles back to its beginnings: Gesine tells Marie about her father, Jakob, dead before she was born, about leaving East Germany, and, as history threatens to take them away from New York, about the beginning of their life together in the city that they have both come to love.
