- Synopsis
- A grieving daughter&’s search for her mother becomes a journey across alternate realities in this dazzling new thriller from the author of The Shining Girls that is "sheer thrilling madness with a big, beating heart that reminds us we're all connected" (Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author).There are infinite realities. She's looking for one . . . Twenty-four-year-old Bridge is paralyzed by choices: all the other lives she could have lived, the decisions she could have made. And now, who she should be in the wake of her mother&’s unexpected death. Jo was a maverick neuroscientist fixated on an artifact she called the &“dreamworm&” that she believed could open the doors to other worlds. It was part of Jo&’s grand delusion, her sickness, and it cost her everything, including her relationship with her daughter. But in packing up Jo&’s house, Bridge discovers Jo&’s obsession hidden amongst her things. And the dreamworm works, exactly the way it&’s supposed to, the way Bridge remembers from when she was a little girl. Suddenly Bridge can step into other realities, otherselves. In one of them, could she find out what really happened to her mother? What Bridge doesn&’t know is that there are others hunting for the dreamworm—who will kill to get their hands on it. Bridge is a highly original, reality-bending thrill-ride that could only have come from the brilliant mind of award-winning novelist, Lauren Beukes, about mothers and daughters, hunters and seekers, and who we each choose to be. "A fantastic high-wire act of a novel . . . at once a cosmic narrative and a deeply intimate human story." —Catriona Ward "Ass-kicking, mind-bending entertainment." —Kirkus Reviews &“A suspenseful, deeply immersive odyssey that will make you consider the alternate possibilities inside us all.&” —Katie Gutierrez"Spiders out into alternate universes yet manages to be very much about us and our fractured now." —Paul Tremblay"Lauren Beukes is a major, major talent." —George R. R. Martin
