One: A Novel by Richard Bach is a tale of what could happen in an alternate world.

Synopsis

The author Richard and his wife Leslie have come under a spell of quantum physics. As a result, they find themselves in an alternate world, existing in different incarnations at the same time. First it is as if they were themselves, but sixteen years prior—being the day they first met. And in this alternate version of their lives they do not wed and never find happiness that in their actual life they do achieve.

Reviews

• "Under the spell of quantum physics, Bach and his wife Leslie are catapulted into an alternate world in which they exist simultaneously in many different incarnations. " These little homilies can either be uplifting or mightily boring, depending on the reader's point of view." -Publishers Weekly
• "Instead of soaring and diving though space, passengers on this flight must be prepared to cruise slowly, making several stops to look at their motivation and lifestyles as the Bachs look at their own." -Detroit Free Press
• "This is a strange and thought-provoking fantasy from the man who gave us Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Illusions, one that is imaginative, playful, and in places, startling in concept." -The Anniston Star
