Description
The Shimmering State A Novel by Meredith Westgate is a thought-provoking literary debut that explores the complexities of human memory and identity. When an experimental memory drug, Memoroxin, warps the lives of two patients, Lucien and Sophie, they are left to navigate their pasts and forge unexpected connections.
Lucien, a photographer struggling to come to terms with his mother's legacy, finds himself at The Center, a treatment facility for those who have abused Memoroxin. There, he meets Sophie, the lead dancer in an upcoming performance, whose own memories are shrouded in mystery. As they form a bond, they must confront the blurred lines between their pasts and the present.
This contemplative novel is a haunting exploration of the human experience, where the fragility of memory is laid bare. With evocative prose, Westgate masterfully weaves together the threads of two lives, creating a narrative that lingers long after the final page is turned.
