From New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, In the Lives of Puppets is a queer retelling of the Pinocchio tale, inviting you deep into the heart of a peculiar forest and on the extraordinary journey of a family assembled from spare parts.
‘A deeply stirring journey through a world of extraordinary robots’ – Chuck Tingle, Hugo-shortlisted author of Camp Damascus
*A New York Times, Sunday Times and Indie Bestseller* *Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Science Fiction*
In a small home, built into the branches of a tree, live a human named Victor and three robots. These are a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, a small vacuum desperate for love and attention, and a fatherly inventor-android named Giovanni Lawson. Together they’re a family, hidden and safe.
Then Vic salvages an unfamiliar android labelled ‘HAP’. He learns that Hap and Gio share a dark past, where they hunted humans. And Hap unwittingly gives away Gio’s location. Before they know it, robots from Gio’s former life arrive – to capture and return the android to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams.
The rest of the unconventional family must travel across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommissioning. Or worse, reprogramming. Along the way, Vic must decide if he can handle his feelings for Hap – even if they come with strings attached.
Inspired by Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful standalone fantasy adventure from the author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.
In the Lives of Puppets was a No. 1 Sunday Times HB Bestseller w/c 24/04/2023.

A very bittersweet story, melancholy and touching. Might even be a little too sad for me, after everything was said and done. It had its flaws, the world-building had its idiosyncrasies and notable cliches, and the romance could've used a little more development, but the characters were likeable to follow. The narrator needed a minute to get used to but was fitting the story by the end.

Ei mielestäni yllä täysin samaan tasoon kuin esim. Under the whispering door, mutta ei onneksi tarvitsekaan. Todella kaunis ja ihanat hahmot 🥰

TJ Klune on ❤️Hänen henkilönsä ovat syvän inhimillisiä, monisyisiä ja rakastettavia, vaikka olisivat peltiä ja puuta.

Actions have concequences. The story is really sweet and sad at the same time. Lovely characters, a lot of laughs and maybe a good cry in there too. Bittersweet, if you will. TJ Klune never dissapoints.

One of the best books Ive read in a long time. The reader really brings the characters to life. I had so many emotions listening to this and I just ate chapter after chapter because I couldnt stop. So much wisdom in it.

Kuka ei haluais lukea hellyyttävistä, rohkeista, hauskoista, murhanhimoisista, sarkastisista ja välittävistä roboteista?? 🥺🥰 Taattua Klunen laatua, niin sydäntälämmittävää luettavaa 🥹Äänikirja on myös aivan huikea!
