Sobre este título

Brought to you by Penguin.

Six hundred years. Five interlocking lives. One computer game. And the many paths that can lead us home.

1983: a grieving teenager can't wait to leave home.
2083: a scientist makes a radical discovery about the human spirit.
2586: a pirate captain navigates the perils of a flooded world.
Meanwhile: an astronaut is on a rescue mission in deep space.

How do these four pioneering women connect, across centuries, vast oceans and far-distant planets? The puzzle leads to a vintage computer game, an unforgettable fellow traveller and a quest: to find out what home means to them.

Homebound is a coming out and coming-of-age story, a wild and precarious sea adventure, a space odyssey. Journeying through loss, creativity, found family, it asks big questions – and offers profound consolations – about life in this lonely, miraculous universe.

Resumo da Crítica

A joy -- at once a gripping mystery that confidently spans centuries, and a hauntingly beautiful exploration of what makes us human. Inventive and gritty, powerful and clear-eyed, it kept me up all night! (MADELINE MILLER)
A sparkling novel, a work of joyous and serious invention that moves fluidly between forms - text-based computer game, fable-like tale, coming-of-age story, sea adventure - that is also profoundly attentive to the concept of home as something portable, created not by territory but by family (born and chosen), storytelling and solidarity (KALIANE BRADLEY, author of Ministry of Time)
I absolutely inhaled it! What a gorgeous debut -- beautifully written, so much fun and so thoughtful (ELLA RISBRIDGER, author of Midnight Chicken)
Homebound is the most original and arresting novel I’ve read in a very long time. Elan has created a century-spanning epic that’s also an utterly intimate story of love, loss, and found family. What a joy; what a marvel (ANNA NORTH, author of Outlawed and Bog Queen)
Homebound's multiple narratives gloriously span centuries into the future to chart the voyages people take to find connection and community. Portia Elan’s ingenious novel is a puzzle-story, a nostalgic ode to 80s video games and punk rock, and a speculative look into the ways technology has reshaped longing. You need to read it! (KEVIN CHONG, Giller Prize-shortlisted author of The Double Life of Benson Yu)
