Full Description

"A thrilling page-turner."--Brit Bennett, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Wildly imaginative."--The Washington Post

"Askaripour soars."--The Boston Globe

A rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt invisible. This Great Hemisphere is powerful, captivating novel about how far we'll go to protect the ones we love. With the worldbuilding of N. K. Jemisin's novels and blazing defiance of Naomi Alderman's work, it is also a story about what happens when we resist the narratives others write about us. Northwestern Hemisphere, 2529: an Earth on which half of people are now born literally invisible. Sweetmint, a young woman, is one of them and thus relegated to second-class citizenship. She has done everything right her entire life, from school to landing a highly sought-after apprenticeship. But all she has fought so hard to earn comes crashing down when she learns that her brother (whom she had presumed dead) is not only alive and well but also the primary suspect in a high-profile political murder. Sweetmint, an unforgettable character to root for, armed with courage, intellect, and unwavering love for her brother, sets off on a mission to find him before it's too late. With five days until the hemisphere's big election, Sweetmint must dodge a relentless law officer and an ambitious politician set on winning the election by any means necessary.
