Wow I’m always astounded by the depth of this author and where she takes us, as you are never quite certain and yet always blown away. The Candy House is no exception at displaying Egan’s cleverness and brilliance- it’s all on show here! And yet she is not showy, her language is precise and unbound leaving exact description and language to perfectly suit the moment she is writing on. 

Sibling book to Egan’s great loved, lorded and prized Welcome to the Goon Squad which follows a similar format as characters loosely overlapped take on each chapter, travelling an exciting, culturally-rich story, this time in the tech world where social media is inauthentically passe and authenticity is everything as human consciousness is mined. 

Smart and clever, fizzing with electricity and thought this book is absolutely brilliant, original and shows Egan’s masterful writing process to a tee– you’ll be moved, blown away and engaged in the short time it will take you to devour this brilliant imagining. Loved it!
