A taxi driver in Beijing. A mysterious stalker. A past that won’t stay buried.
Wang leads an ordinary life—until the first letter arrives. “I am your soulmate,” it begins. “I have come back to this city of sixteen million in search of you.” More letters follow, filled with vivid stories of Wang’s past lives: a runaway slave fleeing Genghis Khan, a fisherman during the Opium Wars, a Red Guard during the Cultural Revolution.
As the letters appear out of nowhere, Wang begins to fear he’s being watched—by someone who has known him for over a thousand years. As past and present collide, he must uncover the truth before it’s too late.
A New York Times Notable Book, The Incarnations is a mesmerizing novel of reincarnation, history, and fate that lingers long after the final page.
