Gabrielle Zevin

With The Hole We're In--a bold, timeless, yet all too timely novel about a troubled American family navigating an even more troubled America--award-winning author and screenwriter, Gabrielle Zevin, delivers a work that places her in the ranks of our shrewdest social observers and top literary talents. Meet the Pomeroys: a church-going family living in a too-red house in a Texas college town. Roger, the patriarch, has impulsively gone back to school, only to find his future ambitions at odds with the temptations of the present. His wife, Georgia, tries to keep things afloat at home, but she's been feeding the bill drawer with unopened envelopes for months and never manages to confront its swelling contents. In an attempt to climb out of the holes they've dug, Roger and Georgia make a series of choices that have catastrophic consequences for their three children--especially for Patsy, the youngest, who will spend most of her life fighting to overcome them. The Hole We're In shines a spotlight on some of the most relevant issues of today: over-reliance on credit, gender and class politics, and the war in Iraq. But it is Zevin's deft exploration of the fragile economy of family life that makes this a book for the ages.

THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING PHENOMENON 'I loved this book' JOJO MOYES 'One of the best books I've ever read' JOHN GREEN 'I devoured it. So enjoyable' ZADIE SMITH _____ This is the story of Sam and Sadie. It's not a romance, but it is about love. When Sam catches sight of Sadie at a crowded train station one winter morning he is catapulted back to the brief time they spent playing together as children. Their unique spark is instantly reignited. What comes next is a story of friendship and rivalry, fame and creativity, betrayal and tragedy, perfect worlds and imperfect ones. And, ultimately, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

"Så njutbar!" Zadie Smith"Helt fantastisk. En av de bästa böcker som jag läst." John Green"Det är en roman som tar spelandet på allvar, men framför allt tar den livet på allvar. Som bra romaner gör." - Amanda Svensson, Sydsvenskan"'Imorgon och imorgon och imorgon' är inte bara en hyllning till platoniska relationer, utan Zevin lyckas också illustrera hur svårt och sårigt det kan vara att älska någon utanför de givna ramarna. Det är en medryckande, ibland förkrossande, skildring där Zevin virtuost spelar på läsarens känslomässiga strängar." - Dagens Nyheter"'Imorgon och imorgon och imorgon' är en av de första romanerna i sitt slag som skildrar spelvärldens utveckling, från 90-talets korniga grafik till dagens mångmiljardindustri. Jag, en totalt spel-okunniglitteraturnörd, kan tyckas helt fel målgrupp. Men det är jag inte. För Gabrielle Zevin har skrivit något så unikt som en relationell bok om datorspel där kreativ kärlek står i centrum. Med samma kraft som Sadie och Sam slukades av spelen som barn drogs jag in i den här romanen. Kreativ lycka, helt enkelt." - Alba Mogensen, Ystads Allehanda"Zevins berättelse är en härlig hyllning till barn, ungdomar, vuxna som inte riktigt passar in i det vanliga livet - om kärlek och vänskap och fantasins betydelse i människors liv." - Femina"Zevins bok är en ljuvlig hyllning till udda existenser, verklighetsflykten och fantasins betydelse i människans liv, kärleken och vänskapen. Jag älskar den." - Svenska Dagbladet”Och apropå pockettips så har jag precis läst klart denna och jag vet uppriktigt sagt inte vad jag ska göra med mig själv. Den är så fruktansvärt bra. Jag trodde att en roman om spel, det är inget för mig och nu fattar jag inte att jag har kunnat klara av att leva ett läsande liv utan den här boken.” Malin Persson GiolitoÅrets bästa roman 2022 enligt Goodreads AwardsÅrets bästa bok 2022 enligt Amazon och Time MagazineSam och Sadie träffas på ett sjukhus 1987. Sadie besöker sin cancersjuka syster och Sam återhämtar sig från en bilolycka. De två ensamma själarna förenas i den gemensamma kärleken till dataspel, och när de av en slump möts igen åtta år senare inleder de ett samarbete som för dem till oanade höjder: de blir superstjärnor i spelvärlden. Men i verkligheten är saker och ting inte lika fulländade som i spelens virtuella värld. Imorgon och imorgon och imorgon följer Sam och Sadie genom åren av professionell framgång och personliga motgångar, samtidigt som samhället och deras relation förändras. Gabrielle Zevin har skrivit en förtrollande roman om kärlek, men inte en kärleksroman. Den har tagit världen med storm, bland annat utnämndes den till Amazon Book of the Year.

In this exhilarating novel, two friends - often in love, but never lovers - come together as creative partners in the world of video game design, where success brings them fame, joy, tragedy, duplicity, and, ultimately, a kind of immortality.

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.

From the New York Times best-selling author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry, Gabrielle Zevin's In the Age of Love and Chocolate is the story of growing up and learning what love really is. All These Things I've Done, the first novel in the Birthright series, introduced us to timeless heroine Anya Balanchine, a plucky sixteen-year-old with the heart of a girl and the responsibilities of a grown woman. Now eighteen, life has been more bitter than sweet for Anya. She has lost her parents and her grandmother, and has spent the better part of her high school years in trouble with the law. Perhaps hardest of all, her decision to open a nightclub with her old nemesis Charles Delacroix has cost Anya her relationship with Win. Still, it is Anya's nature to soldier on. She puts the loss of Win behind her and focuses on her work. Against the odds, the nightclub becomes an enormous success, and Anya feels like she is on her way and that nothing will ever go wrong for her again. But after a terrible misjudgment leaves Anya fighting for her life, she is forced to reckon with her choices and to let people help her for the first time in her life.
