"The Night Shift is an engrossing and vibrant novel, and I loved watching my fair city shine in these pages. This is a great book for readers who love New York City after dark, and who see mysterious possibilities around every corner." — Emma Straub, New York Times Bestselling Author of All Adults Here
Only by traveling into the past can Jean discover a happy future…
Hidden behind back doors of bars and restaurants and theaters and shops all over New York City are shortcuts—secret passageways that allow you to jump through time and space to emerge in different parts of the city. No one knows where they came from, but there are rules—you can only travel through them one way and only at night.
When Jean’s work friend Iggy introduces her to the shortcuts, it’s to help shorten her commute between her night shifts bartending and her work at an upscale bakery. Jean is intrigued but has a hard time shaking the side effects—the shortcuts make her more talkative, more open to discussing her past and recalling memories she’s tried hard to forget.
When Iggy goes missing, Jean believes it’s related to the shortcuts and his growing obsession with them. But as she starts digging into their origins, she comes to find a strange connection between herself and the shortcuts. A shimmering, propulsive novel set in New York City during the early aughts and across time, The Night Shift shows that by confronting the past can we reshape our future.

Sci-fi möter magisk realism. Författaren tar hänsyn till alla sinnena i sina miljö- och känslobeskrivningar - vilket blir extra viktigt när så många miljöer är en del av berättelsen. En riktig bladvändare!

Året är 2004, platsen New York.Jean Smith blev föräldralös vid 17-års ålder, samtidigt som hon fick kämpa för sin egen överlevnad. I vuxen ålder, så fort någon kommer för nära, drar hon sig undan. Hon stortrivdes som receptionist hos psykiatrokern Myra Goldstein, men när dr Goldstein mer och mer börjar behandla Jean som en dotter, så väljer Jean att säga upp sig. Hon får jobb i en bar, men lönen räcker inte ens till hyran, så när hennes kollega Omar tipsar om ett jobb i ett bageri tar hon det, trots att hon riskerar sen ankomst varje natt. Det är dock innan ännu en kollega, Iggy, visar henne en genväg - som visar sig vara något helt annat...Riktigt spännande, varmt och kärleksfullt om en ensam ung kvinna som vill passa in lagom mycket utan att någon lägger märke till henne - men "genvägarna" låter henne inte göra det länge till. @bibbloagneta
