Description: "Part sci-fi, part dreamy drama, The House Between Earth and the Moon follows the residents of Parallaxis (a luxury space station developed by tech giant Sensus) as they try to build a home for billionaires to escape Earth's increasing inhospitality. Meanwhile, the people they leave back home--particularly the family of Alex, a researcher seeking to create a carbon-guzzling algae--are struggling with both their present and futures." -- Marie Claire , "The Most Eagerly Anticipated Fiction by Women in 2022" "If you read just one novel about future billionaires funding scientists to try to save a select few from global warming by making it possible to live in outer space, definitely let it be A House Between Earth and Moon ." -- Glamour , "The Best Books of 2022 to Add to Your Reading List" "Inventive and thrilling, A House Between Earth and the Moon dives into the near-future climate apocalypse with eerie prescience, startling humor, and, somehow, hope. I couldn't put it down." --Brit Bennett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Half "Rebecca Scherm is a treasure of a novelist: searching, inventive, her scope both everyday and expansive, her work marked by a tender but merciless psychological acuity. In A House Between Earth and the Moon , she has the near future--or the present--of perpetual emergency firmly within her grasp. It's a thrill to read this novel, which punctures, urgently and humanely, the technocrat fantasy that space might save us; it brilliantly vivifies the terrors of love and surveillance and ambition, the dream and impossibility of escape." --Jia Tolentino, New York Times bestselling author of Trick Mirror " A House Between Earth and the Moon is a compelling, urgent book. I couldn't put it down. Rebecca Scherm brilliantly, and with such heart and tenderness, imagines a frightening future for our planet and our flawed, complicated species, and the worlds she imagines are so vivid, and feel so real I wondered if she owns a crystal ball. I loved these characters and their struggles and desires, and I rooted for them, and worried about them, and I can't stop thinking about them. This is a remarkable novel." --Edan Lepucki, New York Times bestselling author of California "I loved A House Between Earth and the Moon --a smart, propulsive, sharply observed psychological novel set in a convincingly detailed near future, as well as an insightful examination of how rapid advances in communication technology can inadvertently render us indecipherable to each other." --Dexter Palmer, author of Version Control
