Books are available at the Circulation Desk at the library.Email ekatz@minlib.net for Zoom Link.NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE * An outsider who can travel between worlds discovers a secret that threatens the very fabric of the multiverse in this stunning debut, a powerful examination of identity, privilege, and belonging. WINNER OF THE COMPTON CROOK AWARD * FINALIST FOR THE LOCUS AWARD * " Gorgeous writing , mind-bending world-building , razor-sharp social commentary, and a main character who demands your attention--and your allegiance."--Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR * Library Journal .Johnson's debut explores parallel universes through the eyes of Cara, who is a traverser, a member of an exclusive team that can travel across the multiverse, but only to worlds where she has already died. Cara's former life was in the wastelands outside Wiley City, where each day was a struggle to survive. In her new life, she travels to similar worlds to retrieve information for her employer, the Eldridge Institute, which they use to mine resources across the multiverse, giving local wastelands some time to recover. When a new world opens up to Cara, her life comes crashing down as the striking similarities between her multiple lives converge. Cara must draw from her experience across the multiverse, and navigate the mess her relationships have become as she meets multiple variations of friends and enemies. As her current and former lives become hopelessly entangled, Cara makes life-altering decisions that affect her and those around her.��Join us for a lively discussion!Contact: Elise Katz : ekatz@minlib.net [Adult Events]
