The Midnight Factory (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9791097912918)

Shimmer makes you forget-until it takes everything.

In the rain-soaked country of New Albion, forgetting has become a way of life. Shimmer offers brief escape from fear, hunger and grief. It also keeps the population obedient, numbed and watched.

Anouk Walker isn't looking for change. She's only trying to survive, one dose at a time. When a late-night raid tears her closest friend away, survival is no longer enough. Someone she loves is disappearing, piece by piece, and life is designed to make people look away.

As Anouk searches for a way to bring him back, she is forced deeper into a world where memory is fragile, loyalty is dangerous, and even hope carries a cost. The more she learns, the clearer it becomes that escape and control are inseparable. No one walks free without leaving something behind.

A quietly unfolding dystopia that builds toward a gripping, emotional reckoning. The Midnight Factory is a haunting literary dystopian novel about addiction, complicity, and the quiet rebellions we make for the people we refuse to abandon. Perfect for readers of Margaret Atwood, Kazuo Ishiguro, Emily St. John Mandel, and P.D. James.
