Working Title

The book I am working on right now is divided into three parts, each with focus and point of view for a single character. The first portion is Diego, the second is Elena, and the third is Frestón. I had not settled on a title for the full work until recently. The working title I have come up with is "A Palimpsest of Time."

You might well ask, what is a palimpsest? It is usually a manuscript that has been altered, with the original text erased to be re-used, but some remnant of the original remains. It is also sometimes used for places or things which have been changed but some measure of their original character is left or visible if you know to look for it. Buildings are particularly notable for these kinds of changes, in addition to manuscripts. For example, the Grand Mosque of Cordoba, the Mezquita, was enlarged several times, and then a Christian church was plunked down in the middle of it. I happened to be visiting at one point during some renovation work that revealed one of the original doorways which had been covered over when the mosque was expanded.
