Acerca de este título

Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2020

Rachel and Eliza are hoping to have a baby. The couple spend many happy evenings together planning for the future.

One night Rachel wakes up screaming and tells Eliza that an ant has crawled into her eye and is stuck there. She knows it sounds mad - but she also knows it's true. As a scientist, Eliza won't take Rachel's fear seriously, and they have a bitter fight. Suddenly their entire relationship is called into question.

Told in 10 interconnecting but self-contained chapters - each from a different character's perspective - and inspired by some of the best known thought experiments in philosophy, particularly philosophy of mind, Love and Other Thought Experiments is a story of love lost and found across the universe.

2020, Desmond Elliott Prize, Long-listed

2022, McKitterick Prize, Short-listed

Reseñas de la crítica

Sophie Ward is a dazzling talent who writes like a modern-day F Scott Fitzgerald (Elizabeth Day)
a genuinely affective family narrative that is emotionally compelling as well as intellectually stimulating. Surely not since Jostein Gaarder's 1991 novel Sophie's World, has an author produced such an imaginative and original synthesis of fiction and philosophy (Becky Long)
Ward's ingenious fiction debut stands in a tradition of philosophical fiction: Voltaire's Candide, Sartre's Nausea . . . [Her] writing is often moving, exuberant and sensitive . . . gifts of bravura wit and imagination (Stevie Davies)
