It is 2085 and Laisve is learning to use the ancient waterways to travel through water and time. Sifting through the detritus of a fallen city known as The Brook, she discovers a talisman that will connect her with people from the past two centuries, including a squad of laborers at work on a huge, national monument to liberty.

As waters rise and a police state encroaches, Laisve must find her way back to the early days of her imperfect country, to forge a bond that might save all their lives – and their shared dream of freedom.

Thrust is a dazzling novel of body, spirit and survival, and Lidia Yuknavitch’s lyrical, richly atmospheric storytelling and sharp-eyed writing is entirely transportive.

Critic Reviews

"A long, disturbing dream . . . a fascinating, unsettling ride"
"There’s so much that feels deeply present about Yuknavitch’s latest novel: the ever-expanding police state, lower Manhattan under water and a woman on a mission to rescue other vulnerable women. Yuknavitch’s words are incantations, and Thrust is a triumph"
"An indignant and impressive novel"
"Moving and incisive"
"This weirdly wonderful [novel] on the surveillance state, climate change, and what it means to have agency as a woman in the world will throw your mind for a loop in the best way"
"[This] powerful, braided fable unites workers of the world across time and space and class to start conceiving of a better world . . . Yuknavitch is firmly in control"
"Thrust is alarmingly trenchant — and a hell of a wild ride. Daring, dazzling and earth-splitting, this is a book to take in wide-eyed" (REBECCA MAKKAI, author of The Great Believers)
"[The] most mind-blowing book about America I’ve ever inhaled . . . I read Thrust in a state of flustered fascination and finished longing to dream it again"
"A unique dystopian tale, one much more than a straightforward calamity-charged premonition"
"A complex novel of great imagination . . . profound, thought-provoking and deeply beautiful"
