Picture Bride
George is used to his brother Perry’s eccentric experiments, but even he is unprepared for Perry’s newest obsession: a beautiful woman Perry has never met in person. She is not overseas, not hidden behind a telephone or television, and not part of a con—she has not even been born yet. Perry claims he has contacted her across more than a thousand years using a machine that transmits sight and sound through time.
What begins as an unbelievable confession soon becomes a baffling scientific and emotional problem. Perry is completely captivated by this brilliant woman from the future, while George struggles to decide whether his brother has made an extraordinary discovery or simply lost his mind. As the brothers examine the strange connection, questions of love, identity, and the limits of science take center stage in this witty, fast-moving science-fiction story.
