## Description

In a world where most human beings have had their memories wiped by mysterious 'gods', a young woman seeks relief by getting herself a husband from the local library. But can connection ever exist when the man in question is still anchored to a past where memories were treasured possessions? In a prison camp in an unspecified location, a group of inmates is faced with a stark choice: try and escape or 'assimilate' and lose their own humanity forever. But even in that grim everyday reality there might be space for true affection - but at what cost? A girl surrounded by the boredom of everyday suburbia is confronted with a darker version of herself and the world she thought she knew, beneath the shadow of The Wall. Viscerally funny, unexpectedly romantic and wildly imaginative, these stories - each set in a world that is familiar and yet uncannily tilted - represent Kaliane Bradley at the top of her speculative game, perfect for fans of Ray Nayler, Ted Chiang, Olga Ravn and Max Porter.
