Reviews
"The cool intensity and strange beauty of Blue Ticket is a wonder - be sure to read everything Sophie Mackintosh writes." -- DEBORAH LEVY, author of HOT MILK and THE MAN WHO SAW EVERYTHING "Strange and luminous, beautifully spare and precise: Sophie Mackintosh constructs her disturbing premise with such skill that I found myself forgetting that the world of Blue Ticket is not (quite) our own. A thrilling and nuanced exploration of what it means to follow one's own longing to the point of destruction and beyond" -- ROSIE PRICE, author of WHAT RED WAS " Blue Ticket manages to be both claustrophobic and expansive, dream-like and heart-stoppingly tense. Lushly textured and stunningly written, you will want to languish in its world for a very long time" -- LARA WILLIAMS, author of SUPPER CLUB "Utterly exquisite - clever and brilliant and heartbreaking. From the dusty road to the salving forest, I absolutely adored it." --EMMA JANE UNSWORTH, author of ADULTS and ANIMALS "In her thought-provoking novel about fate, control, and biology, Mackintosh keeps the reader turning pages as Calla's due date approaches. A must for Handmaid's Tale aficionados." -- BOOKLIST *STARRED REVIEW* "Mackintosh's haunting, dystopian tale explores the emotional fallout of forced birth control in a near-future society . . . [A] tense, visionary drama." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Praise for Sophie Mackintosh and The Water Cure: "A gripping, sinister fable!" -- MARGARET ATWOOD, via Twitter "Darkly gratifying, primal and arresting...ingenious and incendiary" --NEW YORKER "An extraordinary otherworldly debut... [Mackintosh] is writing the way that Sofia Coppola would shoot the end of the world: Everything is luminous." -- THE GUARDIAN "Sensational...Mackintosh's taut novel turns a keen, unsparing eye on violence, patriarchy, and desire." -- ESQUIRE "[A] chilling, beautifully written novel...the tautness and tension of the writing are staggering." -- Judges Panel Citation, MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2018 "I loved this book. It rushes you through to the end on a tide of tension and closely held panic. Eerie, beautiful, electric." -- DAISY JOHNSON, author of EVERYTHING UNDER "Sophie Mackintosh casts an exquisite, irresistible spell..." --LENI ZUMAS, author of RED CLOCKS, Praise for Sophie Mackintosh and The Water Cure: "A gripping, sinister fable!" -- MARGARET ATWOOD, via Twitter "Darkly gratifying, primal and arresting...ingenious and incendiary" --NEW YORKER "An extraordinary otherworldly debut... [Mackintosh] is writing the way that Sofia Coppola would shoot the end of the world: Everything is luminous." -- THE GUARDIAN "Sensational...Mackintosh's taut novel turns a keen, unsparing eye on violence, patriarchy, and desire." -- ESQUIRE "[A] chilling, beautifully written novel...the tautness and tension of the writing are staggering." -- Judges Panel Citation, MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2018 "I loved this book.

Eerie, beautiful, electric." -- DAISY JOHNSON, author of EVERYTHING UNDER "Sophie Mackintosh casts an exquisite, irresistible spell..." --LENI ZUMAS, author of RED CLOCKS, "[Mackintosh''s] style is spare but thoughtful. Every detail enhances the plot and the atmosphere at once...Sophie Mackintosh lays bare many of the fears and realities that face any society''s women as they contemplate when their choices begin, and where they might end." --BOSTON GLOBE "The cool intensity and strange beauty of Blue Ticket is a wonder - be sure to read everything Sophie Mackintosh writes." -- DEBORAH LEVY, author of HOT MILK and THE MAN WHO SAW EVERYTHING "In this dark fable...Mackintosh sensitively conveys resonant questions about motherhood, female solidarity, queer love, and bodily autonomy." --THE NEW YORKER "[ Blue Ticket ] is no less relevant or incisive for its intimacy. It is as much about the tension between independence and obligation, between desire and capability, as it is about contemporary womanhood: under constant threat just for having a body, and longing to decide your own fate." --NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW "The breakout author of The Water Cure returns with another chilling speculative fiction...[Calla''s] harrowing journey to take charge of her own future wrestles with timely, thought-provoking questions of fate, free will, and bodily autonomy."-- ESQUIRE (The 20 Must-Read Books of the Summer) "Mackintosh''s second novel is even more hallucinatory and spiraled than her first...[ Blue Ticket is] terrifying and enchanting in equal measure." -- LITHUB (The Best New Books to Read This Summer) "Told with ragged prose that catches the breath, Calla''s journey articulates the irrepressible desires and wounds that can lie deep within, and is marked by a claustrophobia that never stops pressing in from the margins. This unsettling reimagining of the anxieties and pressures around motherhood lays bare the alienation that comes when your body is not truly yours." --THE IRISH NEWS "Strange and luminous, beautifully spare and precise: Sophie Mackintosh constructs her disturbing premise with such skill that I found myself forgetting that the world of Blue Ticket is not (quite) our own. A thrilling and nuanced exploration of what it means to follow one''s own longing to the point of destruction and beyond" -- ROSIE PRICE, author of WHAT RED WAS " Blue Ticket manages to be both claustrophobic and expansive, dream-like and heart-stoppingly tense.

Synopsis
*BELLETRIST'S AUGUST 2020 BOOK PICK* "[Mackintosh's] writing is clear and sharp, with piercing moments of wisdom and insight that drive toward a pitch-perfect ending... Blue Ticket adds something new to the dystopian tradition set by Orwell's 1984 or Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale." --New York Times Book Review From the author of the Man Booker Prize longlisted novel The Water Cure ("ingenious and incendiary"-- The New Yorker ) comes another mesmerizing, refracted vision of our society: What if the life you're given is the wrong one? Calla knows how the lottery works. Everyone does. On the day of your first bleed, you report to the station to learn what kind of woman you will be. A white ticket grants you marriage and children. A blue ticket grants you a career and freedom. You are relieved of the terrible burden of choice. And once you've taken your ticket, there is no going back. But what if the life you're given is the wrong one? When Calla, a blue ticket woman, begins to question her fate, she must go on the run. But her survival will be dependent on the very qualities the lottery has taught her to question in herself and on the other women the system has pitted against her. Pregnant and desperate, Calla must contend with whether or not the lottery knows her better than she knows herself and what that might mean for her child. An urgent inquiry into free will, social expectation, and the fraught space of motherhood, Blue Ticket is electrifying in its raw evocation of desire and riveting in its undeniable familiarity., *BELLETRIST'S AUGUST 2020 BOOK PICK* Mackintosh's] writing is clear and sharp, with piercing moments of wisdom and insight that drive toward a pitch-perfect ending ...
