A boy called Seth drowns, desperate and alone in his final moments, losing his life as the pounding sea claims him. But then he wakes. How is that possible? And where is this place? It looks like the suburban English town where he lived as a child, before an unthinkable tragedy happened and his family moved to America. But the neighbourhood around his old house is overgrown, covered in dust and completely abandoned. What's going on?

People see stories everywhere. That's what my father used to say. We take random events and we put them together in a pattern so we can comfort ourselves with a story, no matter how much it obviously isn't true. We have to lie to ourselves to live. Otherwise, we'd go crazy.
— A philosophical science fiction discussing existentialist ideas, throwing in questions about life, death and the meaning of it all, without ever really answering them. And that's the beauty of this book.
Undecided on the rating. Even though the moral in here was strong and it ended abruptly, on an open note, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Also, why must you always end books like this 😑 Chaos Walking also did this at the end!
