Book description
Imagine two cousins, Jamie and Esther, who've somehow inherited cities that are literally at odds with each other. Jamie's Fairharbour is a frozen nightmare: windows bricked shut, residents shivering like overcooked shrimp in a freezer, and a government that's basically a snowplow with a bad attitude. Esther's Fairharbour? A sweaty, crumbling hellscape of relentless summer sun-walls melting like forgotten ice cream, people sighing about "oppressive sunlight" like it's a personal insult. Welcome to the divorce court of reality, as the Guardian put it, calling this "a beautifully strange and unique fable" (which is basically literary code for "this book is weird, and you'll love it").
The audiobook? Pure genius. The narrator's voice shifts from frosty to steamy like a mood ring on a bad day, making you feel the crunch of snow in Jamie's world and the sizzle of heat in Esther's. You'll swear you can hear the thump of a snowball hitting a bricked window, or the drip of sweat from a crumbling summer wall. It's like listening to a podcast where the host is simultaneously shivering and sweating, and you're just along for the ride.
Why does this work? Because it's not just a sci-fi split-city drama-it's about the messy, hilarious truth that we're all stuck with our own versions of "Fairharbour." Jamie's winter city is basically "I'm fine, I just need to build more walls," while Esther's summer city is "I'm fine, I just need more shade!" And the kicker? They're both trapped by the same "cataclysm," which feels like a breakup they never asked for. The Guardian nailed it: it's "an elegantly told meditation on how we can't leave ourselves behind." Translation: You can't just unbrick your life and expect to be cooler.
But the real magic? The moment they start texting across the divide (via "glowing fruit" or something equally bizarre). You'll hear the narrator's voice crack with hope as they say things like, "Wait, you also have a weirdly shaped snowman?" It's like watching two cousins finally admit they both hate their parents' decorating choices. And the humor! Summer city's walls "crumbling in the heat" while winter city's "anti-freeze" measures involve bricking up doors like a horror movie. Priorities, people.
Esquire called it "a unique and memorable work"-and honestly? It's the kind of book that makes you pause your audiobook to text a friend, "Okay, but what if we're all just the other city's cousin?" It's not just a story; it's a reminder that the most broken places are the ones we're already home to. So grab this audiobook, put on your headphones, and prepare to laugh while realizing your own life is basically a split-city sitcom. The Guardian was right: it's weird, it's wonderful, and it'll make you question why you never asked your cousin about their "summer city" before. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go unbrick my own door. (Or maybe just turn on the AC. Priorities.)
