Praise for Bridge * : * Lauren Beukes' multiverse is thrilling-balancing madness, horror, and a big, bleeding, beating heart that reminds us that we are all connected in the end * Grady Hendrix * I absolutely loved it. This fantastic high-wire act of a novel, accelerating to a heart-stopping climax, is at once a cosmic narrative on a grand scale and a deeply intimate human story. Bravo! * Catriona Ward, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Last House on Needless Street * Bridge spiders out into alternate universes, alternate selves, yet manages to be very much about us and our fractured now. It's a humane, thought-provoking puzzle box, and a wildly entertaining novel * Paul Tremblay, bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and The Pallbearers Club * Vast in scope and heart, Bridge is both a thrilling exploration of the known universe and an intimate portrayal of a daughter's yearning for her mother. Lauren Beukes has crafted a suspenseful, deeply immersive odyssey that will make you consider the alternate possibilities inside us all. A perfect summer read. * Katie Gutierrez, author of More Than You'll Ever Know * Lauren Beukes takes a story filled with psychedelic drugs, parallel worlds, and neuroscience and makes it also about a complex mother-daughter relationship, full of darkness, light, and longing. This is fun and insane and very moving * Mariana Enriquez, author of Our Share of Night * What if our dreams are twisted-up memories? What if the Mandela Effect isn't an effect at all? Somewhere between The Lathe of Heaven and Everything Everywhere All at Once is Lauren Beukes' Bridge: it's not just reality that's multifold, it's identity. Bridge challenges our sense of reality, chips away at our conception of the self, and shoves us down a slide of our own paranoia. But, it's Lauren Beukes-this is what she does, isn't it? * Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians * Praise for Lauren Beukes * : * A stand-out chase thriller. How can you not fall in love with this book? -- Stephen King A major, major talent -- George RR Martin Very, very good. It feels effortless. Utterly accomplished -- William Gibson A powerful thriller - imaginative, disturbing, tense, compelling reading * The Times * Dark, relentless, time-twisting, page-turning ... it shines -- Matt Haig Powerful and intelligent * Guardian * A ripping tale that neither shies away from big questions nor interesting answers * New Scientist *
