From the visionary author of the internationally bestselling The Book of Joan comes an epic novel tracing the construction of a colossal statue - and the lives of two centuries of immigrants navigating its turbulent wake. It is 2085 and Laisve is learning to use the ancient waterways to travel through water and time. Sifting through the detritus of a fallen city known as The Brook, she discovers a talisman that will connect her with people from the past two centuries, including a squad of laborers at work on a huge, national monument to liberty. As waters rise and a police state encroaches, Laisve must find her way back to the early days of her imperfect country, to forge a bond that might save all their lives - and their shared dream of freedom. Thrust is a dazzling novel of body, spirit and survival, and Lidia Yuknavitch's lyrical, richly atmospheric storytelling and sharp-eyed writing is entirely transportive.
