Seven Lifetimes: A Novel
Before we are born, we are souls in a school made of light, climbing home by living the seven hardest human feelings, one lifetime at a time.
Ember and Sid have been climbing together longer than either can count, and they have made a vow: to finish the last lesson and go home together, or not at all. But Ember is stuck. Across six lifetimes she has felt joy, fear, grief, anger, shame, and longing all the way to the floor, and six times she has failed the seventh and hardest lesson of all. The one her whole soul was built to fear. The one that asks her to open her hands.
In her seventh life, an ordinary young woman with nothing will be asked to let go of the one thing she loves most in the world. And what she chooses will decide whether two souls, bound across eternity, ever find their way home.
From a golden summer in Florence to a silent 1950s kitchen, a jazz-lit speakeasy, a hushed convent, and a small quiet hospital room, Seven Lifetimes is a sweeping, luminous novel about grief without villains, love without end, and the terrible mercy of letting go.
For readers of Matt Haig's The Midnight Library and Kate Atkinson's Life After Life, a story for anyone who has ever had to give something up in order to truly love it.
