Brought to you by Penguin.

Six hundred years. Five interlocking lives.
An immersive, open-hearted exploration of the many paths that can lead us home.

It’s 1983 and Becks can’t wait to get the hell out of Cincinnati. But for now she has work to do: her programmer uncle, the only person who understood her, has left her a half-finished game to complete.

The game will outlast Becks by centuries and shape the lives of a scientist, an astronaut and a pirate captain in ways she cannot imagine. It will connect these four pioneering women across centuries, vast oceans and far-distant planets and introduce them to a remarkable robot destined to gather together this disparate crew.

Homebound is a coming-out and coming-of-age story, a wild and precarious sea adventure, a space odyssey. As it slips through time, loss, creativity, found family, it journeys deep into humanity’s future and capacity for love.

’A work of joyous and serious invention’ KALIANE BRADLEY

Recensioni della critica

A Cloud Atlas-like puzzle-box... Homebound is sentimental, soft-hearted and guileless – the adjectives critics tend to use sneeringly, as though kindness were easy. It’s the sort of book that might have kept my younger self company. I’m glad this generation will have it (Beejay Silcox)
Dizzyingly ambitious... Elan draws us deep into the personal stories of her protagonists, arguing for agency, indepenence and a celebration of lives lived on their own terms... a hugely impressive debut that immediately establishes Elan as a vital new voice (Declan Burke)
If you enjoyed Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, you’re sure to love this book... a nostalgic literary sci-fi hybrid that isn’t to be missed (Talya Honebeek)
A joy -- at once a gripping mystery that confidently spans centuries, and a hauntingly beautiful exploration of what makes us human. Inventive and gritty, powerful and clear-eyed, it kept me up all night! (MADELINE MILLER, author of The Song of Achilles)
A sparkling novel, a work of joyous and serious invention... profoundly attentive to the concept of home as something portable, created not by territory but by family (born and chosen), storytelling and solidarity (KALIANE BRADLEY, author of The Ministry of Time)
Hotly tipped by The Ministry of Time author Kaliane Bradley
At once an epic odyssey and a quiet ode to loneliness and love, Homebound is a major addition to the sci-fi canon
Homebound is a big, bold, ecstatic world -- full of heart and wonder -- where stories weave through time to connect us, and our faith in each other makes us human (RUTH OZEKI, author of The Book of Form & Emptiness)
A fascinatingly plausible and atmospheric story of a future shaped by tech and love intertwined (EMMA DONOGHUE, author of Room)
You’ll be captivated by this debut novel about a 1980s digital game that connects a queer teen named Becks with characters far in the future
