The Measure - Nikki Erlick

Descriere The Measure - Nikki Erlick

\n \nPerfect for book clubs.--Marie Claire\n \nThe Midnight Library meets The Immortalists in this spirit-lifting, high-concept blockbuster debut. \n \nEight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice.\n \n?It seems like any other day. You wake up, pour a cup of coffee, and head out.\n \nBut today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. This box holds your fate inside: the answer to the exact number of years you will live.\n \nFrom suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise?\n \nAs society comes together and pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they'll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge?\n \nThe Measure charts the dawn of this new world through an unforgettable cast of characters whose decisions and fates interweave with one another: best friends whose dreams are forever entwined, pen pals finding refuge in the unknown, a couple who thought they didn't have to rush, a doctor who cannot save himself, and a politician whose box becomes the powder keg that ultimately changes everything.\n \nEnchanting and deeply uplifting, The Measure is a sweeping, ambitious, invigorating story about family, friendship, hope, and destiny that encourages us to live life to the fullest.\n
