Produktbeschreibung

A gripping, imaginative, and darkly funny debut novel about a young woman's struggle to find her place in a dystopian world ravaged by a memory-stealing epidemic.

After two acclaimed story collections, Laura van den Berg brings us her highly anticipated debut novel, Find Me. Joy spends her days working the graveyard shift at a grocery store outside Boston, nursing an addiction to cough syrup to suppress her troubled past. But when a sickness that begins with memory loss and ends with death sweeps the country, Joy's immunity gives her a chance to escape her bleak existence.

Admitted to a hospital in rural Kansas, Joy submits to peculiar treatments and forms cautious bonds with other patients, including her roommate and twin boys digging a secret tunnel. As winter descends and the hospital's order breaks down, Joy breaks free on a journey from Kansas to Florida, seeking the birth mother who abandoned her. In a devastated America, she encounters mysterious companions, strange cities, and one eerie house, all while confronting her own damaged memory and secrets.
