Awards
Co-Winner, First Chapter Prize, 2024 Popular Fiction Awards @ Emerson College
Judge Kim McLarin: "A delightfully scary, breathtakingly sharp and surprisingly witty plunge into either grief or madness, or how grief is madness, or something else the reader will definitely keep reading to figure out."
Honorable Mention, Page-Turner Prize, 2024 Popular Fiction Awards @ Emerson College
Judge Rebecca Thorne: "Mirza is such a fun, badass character, and I love this gorgeously complex science fiction setting. The absolutely stellar writing style is what locked it for me—I think this is beautifully written, and could easily could be found on any bookshop’s shelf!"
