Elsewhere

Beskrivelse

A captivating YA novel from Gabrielle Zevin, Elsewhere explores life after death through the story of fifteen-year-old Liz Hall. This thought-provoking tale delves into hope, love, and the possibility of redemption in a place where aging happens in reverse.

A unique journey through life after death, where growing younger is the new reality.

Welcome to Elsewhere, a serene and beautiful place with gentle breezes and peaceful beaches. Here, illness and aging are impossible, and death marks just the beginning of a new existence.

After a tragic hit-and-run accident, Liz Hall finds herself in Elsewhere, a world both familiar and strikingly different from Earth. In this realm, she will grow younger each day, moving backward from the moment of her death until she becomes a baby once more and returns to the living world.

But Liz isn’t ready to reverse her life. She dreams of turning sixteen, earning her driver’s license, graduating from high school, and attending college. The idea of becoming a grandmother she’s never met or making brand-new friends feels foreign to her.

As Liz struggles to accept this reversed path, she faces a profound question: can a life lived backward be any different from the one moving forward?

"Every so often a book comes along with a premise so fresh and arresting it seems to exist in a category all its own. Elsewhere is such a book.", New York Times Book Review
