What to expect

It's 1962 and physics student Grace Pulansky believes she has met the man of her dreams, Robert Jones, while serving up slices of pecan pie at the local diner. But then the FBI shows up, with their fedoras and off-the-rack business suits, and accuses him of being a bomb-planting mass-murderer.

Finding herself on the run with Jones across America's Southwest, the discoveries awaiting Gracie will undermine everything she knows about the universe. Her story will reveal how scores of lives - an identity-swapping rock star, a mourning lover in ancient China, Nazi hunters in pursuit of a terrible secret, a crazed artist in pre-revolutionary France, an astronaut struggling with a turbulent interplanetary future, and many more - are interconnected across space and time by love, grief, and quantum entanglement.

Spanning continents, centuries, and dimensions, this exquisitely crafted and madly inventive novel - a triple-disk, concept-album of an audiobook - is a profound yet propulsive enquiry into the nature of reality - the perfect immersive listen for fans of David Mitchell, Emily St. John Mandel, Neil Gaiman and Margaret Atwood.

Critics Review

  • Mind-bendingly clever and utterly gripping

    DAILY MAIL

  • Ingenious and compelling

    THE TIMES, BOOKS OF THE MONTH

  • A fascinating and assured debut

    THE GUARDIAN

  • A book designed to be more than the sum of its parts, and one that achieves that because love is the thing that binds it together. Vitally fresh.

    DOMINIC NOLAN

  • With strong echoes of David Mitchell, Haruki Murakami or Emily St John Mandel…this is a madcap ride to somewhere new with thrills to spare and a gallery of truly fascinating characters. One for the ages.

    CRIME TIME

  • A trans-dimensional, kaleidoscopic mystery-box of a novel…. wholly and riotously original. Haddon is a mad scientist of genre and his epic is a tour de force
