Description
A New York Times Bestseller, The Candy House is an inventive and effervescent novel about memory, authenticity, and human connection. In this spectacular imagination, Jennifer Egan introduces characters who navigate the world of technology that allows access to every memory, and the consequences of taking a bite of the "Candy House". Intellectually dazzling, the book also explores the tenacity and transcendence of human longing for connection, family, privacy, and love. Through an astonishing array of narrative styles, Egan delves into the complexities of human experience, where desires are tracked and exploited, and those who understand the price of taking a bite of the Candy House must navigate the consequences.
