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*
Bridge spiders out into alternate universes, alternate selves, yet
manages to be very much about us and our fractured now. It's a
humane, thought-provoking puzzle box, and a wildly entertaining
novel
*Paul Tremblay, bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the
World and The Pallbearers Club*
Vast in scope and heart, Bridge is both a thrilling exploration of
the known universe and an intimate portrayal of a daughter's
yearning for her mother. Lauren Beukes has crafted a suspenseful,
deeply immersive odyssey that will make you consider the alternate
possibilities inside us all. A perfect summer read.
*Katie Gutierrez, author of More Than You'll Ever Know*
Lauren Beukes takes a story filled with psychedelic drugs, parallel
worlds, and neuroscience and makes it also about a complex
mother-daughter relationship, full of darkness, light, and longing.
This is fun and insane and very moving
*Mariana Enriquez, author of Our Share of Night*
What if our dreams are twisted-up memories? What if the Mandela
Effect isn't an effect at all? Somewhere between The Lathe of
Heaven and Everything Everywhere All at Once is Lauren Beukes'
Bridge: it's not just reality that's multifold, it's identity.
Bridge challenges our sense of reality, chips away at our
conception of the self, and shoves us down a slide of our own
paranoia. But, it's Lauren Beukes-this is what she does, isn't
it?
*Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The
Only Good Indians*
Thrilling, complex, and pulse-pounding. Beukes handles the balance
between action and emotion brilliantly, this is speculative fiction
of the highest calibre
*Big Issue*
Praise for Lauren Beukes

A stand-out chase thriller. How can you not fall in love with this
book?
*Stephen King*
A major, major talent
*George RR Martin*
Very, very good. It feels effortless. Utterly accomplished
*William Gibson*
A powerful thriller - imaginative, disturbing, tense, compelling
reading
*The Times*
Dark, relentless, time-twisting, page-turning ... it shines
*Matt Haig*
Powerful and intelligent
*Guardian*
A ripping tale that neither shies away from big questions nor
interesting answers
*New Scientist*
