The Reservoir

Más información sobre el libro

The story follows an ordinary man during extraordinary times, revealing our pandemic reality through the eyes of Ridley, a former Wall Street veteran. In enforced solitude, he reflects on his life—his successes, failures, and unresolved questions about his career, divorce, and estranged daughter. From his apartment overlooking the Central Park Reservoir, he notices a flashing light in a neighboring building, as if a quarantined woman is signaling him. This sparks a quest to uncover her identity, leading Ridley into a surreal journey that blurs the lines between madness and heroism. Is he a man on the brink of insanity or an everyman transforming into a hero? As he ventures beyond the safety of his window to rescue this mysterious woman, he plunges into a perilous world filled with global conspiracies and the complexities of love and fatherhood. Ridley’s increasingly erratic behavior reveals that the answers to his questions—and perhaps all of history—lie beneath the icy waters of the reservoir. This tale intertwines elements of romance and comedy, capturing the essence of a time when connection is fraught with danger and conspiracy theories spread like wildfire.
