Bridge

An addictive, fascinating and compelling page-turner. With an original take on the many worlds theory. * Guardian *
A high-concept page-turner * The Herald *
Beukes puts cerebral propositions into breakneck thrillers * The Spectator *
Excellent * Scotland on Sunday *
You can tell Beukes is having an absolute blast putting words on the page. Her fun is evident in the big, bloody action sequences; in the squirmy, almost retro grotesqueness of the dreamworm. * The New York Times *
Bridge is a step into the offbeat, an imaginative stew of ingredients: neuroscience and parasitology, musical theory and Haitian Voudou. * Elle *
Complex, challenging, gripping and thought-provoking. A morally thorny tale without clear-cut heroes or villains. Beukes does a skilful job of balancing desperate but very relatable hope. * SFX *
A blend of sci-fi and thriller … I can highly recommend * Alison Flood, New Scientist *
Lauren Beukes’ multiverse is thrilling-balancing madness, horror, and a big, bleeding, beating heart that reminds us that we are all connected in the end * Grady Hendrix *
I absolutely loved it. This fantastic high-wire act of a novel, accelerating to a heart-stopping climax, is at once a cosmic narrative on a grand scale and a deeply intimate human story. Bravo! * Catriona Ward, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Last House on Needless Street *
