WATERSTONES AND ESQUIRE BEST 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

I love this book and have read it and listened to it several times. All the little stories are tied together by small links, and every time I read I figure out another small link. Some stories are strange, some are hopeful, some are very sad and cautionary. The ending brings a sci fi twist pulling it all together.
wenig überzeugendes worldbuilding

Leider hatte die Welt die hier gezeichnet wird wenig Glaubwürdigkeit oder Tiefe, was es mir extrem schwer gemacht hat mich darauf einzulassen. Den Vergleich zu Station 11 den ich im Vorfeld mehrfach gelesen hatte kann ich überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen.
