A literary dystopian debut novel for fans of Kazuo Ishiguro and Margaret Atwood

Things I will never forget- my name, my made-up birthday...

The dark of the Hospital at night. My mother's face, when she was young.

Things other people will forget- where they come from, how old they are, the faces of the people they love. The right words for bowl and sunshine...

What is a beginning and what is an end.

Joy spends her days working the graveyard shift at a store outside Boston and nursing an addiction to cough syrup, an attempt to suppress her troubled past. But when a sickness that begins with silver blisters and memory loss and ends with death sweeps the country, Joy, for the first time in her life, seems to have an advantage- she is immune.

Laura van den Berg's critically acclaimed debut novel is at once a hauntingly beautiful portrayal of a dystopian future and a powerful exploration of loneliness.
