Пра гэту аўдыякнігу
“A thrilling page-turner.”—Brit Bennett, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Wildly imaginative.”—The Washington Post
“Askaripour soars.”—The Boston Globe
A rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt invisible. A powerful, captivating novel about how far we’ll go to protect the ones we love, and what happens when we resist the narratives others write about us.
Welcome to the Northwestern Hemisphere, 2529. An equally exciting and terrifying world born from the ashes of our own, where almost half of people are born invisible, and thus relegated to second-class citizenship. Sweetmint, a young invisible woman, has done everything right her entire life, from excelling in school to landing a highly sought-after apprenticeship with a mysterious, powerful inventor. But all she has fought so hard to earn comes crashing down when she learns that her missing brother, whom she had presumed dead, is not only alive and well but also the primary suspect of a high-profile political murder.
Armed with nothing more than courage, intellect, and unwavering love for her brother, Sweetmint sets off on the mission of a lifetime: to find her brother before it’s too late. With five days until the hemisphere’s big election, Sweetmint must evade and outsmart all who aim to destroy her and her people, braving a world full of hard truths that many would rather remain hidden.
