It's beautifully written, elegantly structured, and so tight with tension that I paced my office as I read the last fifty pages. It's a masterfully crafted love story and adventure story and family mythology all rolled into one, and chock full of well-earned surprises; every character and storyline could be its own novel, and yet they come together so thunderously and convincingly that I believed even the hallucinations. It blew me away! You'll read it in two sittings.\"-- \n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eDina Nayeri, author of The Ungrateful Refugee\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"A fascinating novel about our tenuous sense of self, friendship, and more.\"-- \n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eForbes, Most Anticipated \"Weird Girl Lit\" for 2026\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"A warm, kindly and beautifully written novel about growing up in a family and in history, about inconvenient memory and haunted repression.\"-- \n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSarah Moss, author of Ghost Wall\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\" \n\u003ci\u003eAwake Awake\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique, visionary novel about the toll of memory and the power and fragility of the human heart and mind.

In crisply evoked scenes, Mozley brings to life all the peril and appetite of childhood friendship, set against the changing political climate of the early twenty-first century. It is a book in which the past lives on in the present, in which history itself proves skittish and irreducible. It is, finally, a gorgeous testament to the fierce bonds that connect us when we are young and the memories that shape not only who we were once, but who we become.\" -- \n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Fridlund, author of History of Wolves\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e 06\/15\/2026 (EAN 9781523537143, Hardcover) - *Starred Review\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 07\/01\/2026 pg. 52 (EAN 9781523537143, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e 07\/01\/2026 (EAN 9781523537143, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Algonquin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51496157413654,"sku":"9781523537143","price":34.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/9910\/8886\/files\/9781523537143.jpg?v=1783054369","url":"https:\/\/lusper.myshopify.com\/products\/awake-awake","provider":"Lusperbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
