The Candy House by Jennifer Egan

The Candy House by Jennifer Egan is a bold, inventive literary novel that imagines a near-future world shaped by technology, memory, identity, and the hunger to share every part of ourselves. With sharp intelligence and emotional depth, Egan explores the darker side of a culture driven by images, connection, and constant digital exposure.

The novel moves through linked characters and stories, creating a wide-ranging portrait of people caught between private experience and public life. At the centre is a world where memories, relationships, and personal histories can be accessed, exchanged, and questioned — raising powerful ideas about privacy, authenticity, and what it means to truly know another person.

Brilliant, ambitious, and full of heart, The Candy House is a strong choice for readers of literary fiction, speculative fiction, book club novels, and smart, modern stories about technology and human connection.
