The Kingdom of Ohio by Matthew Flaming

This book explores the relationship between a man and a woman our narrator discovers in a photograph which arrives at his antique store. Questions of politics (the titular Kingdom of Ohio) and time traveling also come into play. The narrator is delightfully unreliable (lots of footnotes with some real and some not) and there is a pretty good twist at the end. Still, the story runs a bit fast at the end--there's a Croatoan connection that's thrown in and not adequately explored.
