The Many Lives of John Stone, Linda Buckley-Archer

Spark goes to New York to hang out with her brother on vacation. Almost as soon as she gets there, she meets John Stone, who offers her a job cataloging his papers. Spark also gets a crush on her brother's roommate, who leaves right away.

Back in England, Spark apples for the job, gets it, moves in with Stone and his weird staff, and catalogs a bunch of stuff in code.

Meanwhile, Stone is writing his memoirs, which start in France, in the court of the Sun King..

This book is 529 pages long. I am not sure why I didn't stop reading, but I guess that felt like too much effort. I'm extra-tired, lately.
