Speak: A Novel

"An inventor is imprisoned for making baby dolls that are too realistic. A Puritan girl, married against her will, sails to America with her dog. A programmer’s wife shuns him in favor of a sentient computer he created. In this stunning and audacious second novel from Louisa Hall, perspectives shift between different eras and places, twisting together to form a story that’s as hard to describe as it is remarkable. It’s not just one of the smartest books of the year; it’s one of the most beautiful."
