From the Booker-shortlisted author of The Overstory and Bewilderment
'If you have children or will have children, if you know children or can remember being a child, dare to read Operation Wandering Soul ... it is bedtime reading for the future' USA TODAY
'Powers' prose soars like the most magnificent of choirs' WASHINGTON POST
'The most intellectually stimulating novelist at work in the English language today' DAILY TELEGRAPH
In the paediatrics ward of a public hospital, a group of sick children gather, their lives brightened only by the power of imagination. The surrogate parents of this group - Kraft, a tired, overworked surgical resident, and Espera, a dedicated therapist - are charged with prolonging their lives using storytelling and make-believe alone.
Using the boundless reach of imagination, Operation Wandering Soul is a novel that celebrates the wonder of childhood. Both social indictment and emotional account of intimate needs, it asks how we might keep alive a little longer the enduring magic of childhood dreams.
Ideal for readers interested in modern & contemporary.
