Stylish and open-hearted, this is a very different kind of love story, elevated and energised by being set in the world of creativity and video gaming
'An exquisite love letter to life' TAYARI JONES, Women's Prize-winning author of An American Marriage
This is not a romance, but it is about love
Two kids meet in a hospital gaming room in 1987. One is visiting her sister, the other is recovering from a car crash. The days and months are long there. Their love of video games becomes a shared world -- of joy, escape and fierce competition. But all too soon that time is over, fades from view.
When the pair spot each other eight years later in a crowded train station, they are catapulted back to that moment. The spark is immediate, and together they get to work on what they love - making games to delight, challenge and immerse players, finding an intimacy in digital worlds that eludes them in their real lives. Their collaborations make them superstars.
This is the story of the perfect worlds Sadie and Sam build, the imperfect world they live in, and of everything that comes after success- Money. Fame. Duplicity. Tragedy.
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow takes us on a dazzling imaginative quest as it examines the nature of identity, creativity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play and, above all, our need to connect- to be loved and to love.
'A gem of a novel' Erin Morgenstern
'A brilliant story about life's most challenging puzzles' Nathan Hill, New York Times-bestselling author of The Nix
About the Author
Gabrielle Zevin was raised by parents who took her to the library like it was church. She suspects that is why she became a writer.
Her career began at age fourteen when an angry letter to her local newspaper about a Guns 'n' Roses concert resulted in a job as a music critic.
Over eight novels for adults and young people, she has written about female soldiers in Iraq, mafia princesses in retro-future New York City, teenage girls in the afterlife, talking dogs, amnesiacs, and the difficulties of loving one person over many years.
Her last novel, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, was a New York Times bestseller.
