MINIVER is a story within a story within a story. An old-fashioned story. A story of love. A story of loss. A story of loneliness, self-destruction, and addiction.
MINIVER tells the impossible tale of an alcoholic poet who finds a surprising second life in a world he could not have created.
But somebody did.

ÒAS FOR ME, I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library. Victorian. Crammed to the rafters with scientific absurdities and ridiculous knick-knacks. A lot like MiniverÕs library here. Only bigger. Much bigger. More like a Universe.Ó
