Hmm, intriguing. What's the book about?
 

  Three strangers: Iris, Alistair and Spike, are casually ripped from their mundane lives to find themselves in a vast desert. Their journey to discover the reason puts them in the path of two unpredictable smiling gods.

          Guided by intuition, and the words of a possibly-long-dead doctor from 1886, they brave sand, caves, ruby bugs, too much diner food, a medicine show, many baffling visions, and an unexpectedly divine performance at a local theater, all while wondering if the cheerful hints offered by the Twin Gods are as helpful as they seem.  In the end a decision must be made. One that will - if all goes well - rip a soul apart.

    Instantly engrossing, and wonderfully re-readable, this is an enchanting tale of fate (like it or not), of true soul-love that transcends time and space, and the healing power of French fries.
