A big, bold, ecstatic world full of heart and wonder RUTH OZEKI
Six hundred years. Five interlocking lives.
An immersive, open-hearted exploration of the many paths that can lead us home.
It s 1983 and Becks can t wait to get the hell out of Cincinnati.
But for now she has work to do: her programmer uncle, the only person who understood her, has left her a half-finished game to complete.
The game will outlast Becks by centuries and shape the lives of a scientist, an astronaut and a pirate captain in ways she cannot imagine. It will connect these four pioneering women across centuries, vast oceans and far-distant planets and introduce them to a remarkable robot destined to gather together this disparate crew.
Homebound is a coming-out and coming-of-age story, a wild and precarious sea adventure, a space odyssey. As it slips through time, loss, creativity, found family, it journeys deep into humanity s future and capacity for love.
