BOOKS OF 2022 'Haunting and luminous ... An astonishing debut' -
Alan Moore, creator of Watchmen and V for Vendetta 'A powerfully
moving and thought provoking read. At times sublime, strange and
deeply human' Adrian Tchaikovsky, bestselling author of the
Children of Time series Siberia, 2031. After a virus, unearthed
from melting permafrost, unleashes a deadly plague upon humanity,
those left alive are forced to adapt to a new world, and do so in
myriad moving and inventive ways. Among those adjusting to this new
normal are an aspiring comedian, employed by a theme park designed
for terminally ill children, who falls in love with a mother trying
desperately to keep her son alive; a scientist who, having failed
to save his own son from the plague, gets a second chance at
fatherhood when one of his test subjects - a pig - develops human
speech; and a widowed painter and her teenage granddaughter who
must set off on cosmic quest to locate a new home planet. A story
of unshakeable hope that seamlessly crosses literary lines, How
High We Go in the Dark follows a cast of intricately linked
characters spanning hundreds of years as humankind endeavours to
restore the delicate balance of the world. Wonderful and
disquieting, dreamlike and all too possible. [How High We Go in the
Dark] reaches far beyond our stars while its heart remains rooted
to Earth, and reminds us that our wellbeing depends on the
wellbeing of our world - Samantha Shannon, author of The Priory of
the Orange Tree
