Its a novel of a disillusioned man who survives a horrific car accident with severe burns. As he recovers in the hospital, he starts a friendship with a woman who is (maybe? probably?) a schizophrenic that claims they've known each other for hundreds of years. While he learns how to live with the varying changes to his body, she tells him stories of their past life and several side stories meant to teach him important lessons on life and love.

Absolutely fascinating read. I loved the many layers to this book and how the side stories connected with the main plot. It's a harsh look at a drug addled young man who is existing, not living, and how his life is turned upside down and inside out. Loved, loved, loved it.
