Everything Happened at Once

How do you find a way forward in a world turned upside down?

THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE RECORD-BREAKING AUTHOR OF AN 'INSTANT CULT CLASSIC' HARPER'S BAZAAR

What is the date today? Here, time doesn't pass in days. I wouldn't be surprised if spring slid straight into summer, if I looked at a clear lake and saw an old woman in my reflection.

A mutant virus has swept half of the world's population overnight. The known world has collapsed. The new world is a lawless place where children's livers are believed to provide immunity.

In one apartment block, an unlikely pack break out of quarantine in a stolen lorry and brave an achingly empty world once teeming with colour. The desolate reaches of Siberia are signposted with fellow defectors and found family.

A wandering travel agent.
A mixed-race divorcee giving into her desires.
A deaf girl traversing a frozen continent barefoot.

A novel about the spirit's indefatigable will to live and love until the very end, Everything Happened at Once charts the intimate landscapes of humans making liferafts out of the small miracles of the everyday.
