This book is nuts. And I liked it. It was really confusing, but extremely beautifully written. The basic premise is that all throughout history, the helix or spiral shape occurs. The book is four parts, four different people in time and place whose lives are somehow briefly intersected with one another because of the spiral. That's all you need to know before reading this book. Don't read the book sleeve to find a little bit about the stories - it will ruin so much for you.
Where it gets confusing is the last part. It's just weird. It's time travel, ghosts, and just plain difficult to understand. But, I think it's still worth the read - the first story told in poem is worth the novel.
