Jacoby's Game

"Lying in hospital, her life hanging in the balance, Tig plays her cat Jacoby's game. Frustrated and confused by her own life, she can now explore other places, other times. Like dreaming in history, she moves backwards through the centuries to see how they compare to the present. But Jacoby has devised a cat's cradle of a game, and as she plays it to the end Tig makes some unexpected discoveries."--Cover.
