The Great Conjunction

About this book

What if the planets had more influence on our lives than we imagine? Mysterious strangers, symbolic objects, celestial events, and unseen forces weave together a richly imagined tale about love, loss, resilience, and the invisible threads connecting strangers across generations. As the COVID-19 pandemic brings New York City to a standstill, two women, separated by circumstance yet mysteriously connected by fate, find their lives transformed in ways neither could have imagined. Bunny Posner has spent a lifetime surrounding herself with carefully collected treasures, each one preserving a memory too precious to lose. But after a devastating cancer diagnosis and a difficult conversation with her son, she's forced to confront an impossible question: What becomes of a lifetime of memories when no one else understands their meaning? Across the city, Fiona, an eccentric tarot reader, loses everything overnight when a fire destroys her home and business, sending her into homelessness during one of the darkest chapters in modern history. As she struggles to rebuild her life and protect her daughter, unexpected encounters begin to reveal that coincidence may not be coincidence at all. Blending literary fiction with magical realism, The Great Conjunction is an unforgettable novel about memory, mortality, family, and the extraordinary power of hope. Thought-provoking, heartfelt, and infused with wonder, it explores the treasures we hold onto, the people who shape us, and the enduring connections that transcend time. Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven fiction with emotional depth, historical resonance, and a touch of the mystical, The Great Conjunction invites you to discover a story where every object holds a memory, every encounter has meaning, and every life is part of something far greater.

Annette Berkovits' novel is full of human kindness, the longing to correct the choices of the past, and the enchantment of precious things." - Maybelle Wallis, MD, Author (Ireland), Daughter of Strangers
