Here, There and Everywhere
by Chris Roberson

Description:
The story of Roxanne Bonaventure, a woman who at an early age is granted the ability to travel anywhere in space and time by means of a strange device called the "Sofia." With this device, Roxanne is able to travel not only through times that were and will be, but also through worlds that could have been and might someday be. Despite the unparalleled freedom and mobility offered by the device, Roxanne finds herself cut off and isolated from all those around her, unable to make lasting, meaningful relationships with friends, family, or strangers.

Roxanne's story is one of a woman attempting to find a place for herself, and to find someone with whom to share her life. The episodic chapters of Here, There, and Everywhere take the form of shapshots, brief glimpses every few years of Roxanne's life, bound together by interstitial first-person diary entries that provide continuity between episodes. Roxanne's adventures take her from Victorian England to ancient Egypt, from the end of time to the birth of the Beatles. The various chapters play with the genre conventions of science fiction, romance, adventure, detection, and more, all within an underpinning of theoretical physics.
