From the visionary author of the internationally bestselling The Book of Joan comes an epic novel tracing the construction of a colossal statue - and the lives of two centuries of immigrants navigating its turbulent wake

Laisve is a refugee in a destroyed city-island, hunted in Raids and haunted by the spirits of her drowned mother and brother. She dives into the river and finds herself travelling between times and waterways that will connect her with people from the past and future. Among them are a group of workers constructing a colossal monument to freedom for a young and bustling nation. But exactly what - and whom - will that liberty represent?As Laisve drifts into their histories, she schools seekers in the ways of dreams, love and the ultimate aim of liberty: to free the next generation from the chains of this one.

Industry Reviews

'A long, disturbing dream . . . a fascinating, unsettling ride' - Guardian

'There's so much that feels deeply present about Yuknavitch's latest novel: the ever-expanding police state, lower Manhattan under water and a woman on a mission to rescue other vulnerable women. Yuknavitch's words are incantations, and Thrust is a triumph' - Elle

'An indignant and impressive novel' - New York Times

'Moving and incisive' - Time

'This weirdly wonderful [novel] on the surveillance state, climate change, and what it means to have agency as a woman in the world will throw your mind for a loop in the best way' - Good Housekeeping
