Sinopse
“A thrilling page-turner.”—Brit Bennett, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Wildly imaginative.”—The Washington Post
“Askaripour soars.”—The Boston Globe
A rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt invisible.
This Great Hemisphere is powerful, captivating novel about how far we’ll go to protect the ones we love. With the worldbuilding of N. K. Jemisin’s novels and blazing defiance of Naomi Alderman’s work, it is also a story about what happens when we resist the narratives others write about us.
Northwestern Hemisphere, 2529: an Earth on which half of people are now born literally invisible. Sweetmint, a young woman, is one of them and thus relegated to second-class citizenship. She has done everything right her entire life, from school to landing a highly sought-after apprenticeship. But all she has fought so hard to earn comes crashing down when she learns that her brother (whom she had presumed dead) is not only alive and well but also the primary suspect in a high-profile political murder.
Sweetmint, an unforgettable character to root for, armed with courage, intellect, and unwavering love for her brother, sets off on a mission to find him before it’s too late. With five days until the hemisphere’s big election, Sweetmint must dodge a relentless law officer and an ambitious politician set on winning the election by any means necessary.
Resumo da Crítica
Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by People, Elle, Betches, Book Riot, CrimeReads and She Reads
“With remarkable world-building, Askaripour takes readers on a vast and winding adventure through a future split by hemispheres, visibility, and power.”
—Elle, "The Best New Books to Read in Summer 2024"
“Part political thriller and part sci-fi, This Great Hemisphere similarly explores the allure of power and the lengths people go to gain and retain it, but it’s also a story about rebellion, resilience and the strength to shape your own future.”
—BookPage
"The page-turning prose and standout characters will appeal to a wide range of readers. Part sf adventure, part mystery, part social satire, this is a vividly imagined and captivating story."
