Description

'Brilliant, provocative, and darkly funny' Sarah Dunn 'Unique, refreshing and revelatory ... Reads the zeitgeist perfectly' Helen Cullen 'Intriguing, fresh, and satisfyingly complex; it makes you think, and it makes you feel' Lesley Glaister 43-year-old Dolores O'Shea is logical, organized, and prepared to handle whatever comes her way. She keeps up with her job and housework, takes care of her mentally declining mother, and remains close with her old friends and her younger sister who's moved to New York. Though her marriage with David, a doctor, isn't what is used to be, nothing can quite prepare her for Zoey, the AI sex doll that David has secretly purchased and stuffed away in the garage. At first, Zoey sparks an uncharacteristically strong violence in Dolores, whose entire life is suddenly cast in doubt. But then, Dolores and Zoey start to talk ... and what surfaces runs deeper than Dolores could have ever expected, with consequences for all of the relationships in her life, especially her relationship to herself. Provocative, brilliant, and tender, Hey, Zoey is an electrifying new novel about the painful truths of modern-day connection and the complicated and unexpected forms that love can take in a lifetime. 'You've never read anything quite like it' Erin Kelly 'One of our most inventive writers, Sarah Crossan, blends comedy, drama and heartbreak in a novel that is as surprising as it is memorable' John Boyne
