The Memory Theater
ByPublisher Description
From the award-winning author of Amatka and Jagannath—a fantastical tour de force about friendship, interdimensional theater, and a magical place where no one ages, except the young
In a world just parallel to ours exists a mystical realm known only as the Gardens. It’s a place where feasts never end, games of croquet have devastating consequences, and teenagers are punished for growing up. For a select group of masters, it’s a decadent paradise where time stands still. But for those who serve them, it’s a slow torture where their lives can be ended in a blink. In a bid to escape before their youth betrays them, Dora and Thistle—best friends and confidants—set out on a remarkable journey through time and space. Traveling between their world and ours, they hunt for the one person who can grant them freedom. Along the way, they encounter a mysterious traveler who trades in favors and never forgets debts, a crossroads at the center of the universe, our own world on the brink of war, and a traveling troupe of actors with the ability to unlock the fabric of reality.
Endlessly inventive, The Memory Theater takes us to a wondrous place where destiny has yet to be written, life is a performance, and magic can erupt at any moment. It is Karin Tidbeck’s most engrossing and irresistible tale yet.

“How can a book be so whimsical yet so disturbingly eerie??? 🫠
“Welcome, one and all, into the Gardens, Where time does not exist, nor night or day, Where lords and ladies in eternal twilight Torture children, feast, and dance, and play.“ 🫠”Daytona

“Honestly, I just absolutely loved this. It was a little weird but also amazing. My only complaint is that its over now and I can't keep reading it.”Caspian Svensson

“It ate this up and enjoyed it. I might give it a higher rating eventually, right now I am just still sick of the antagonist. 😂 If you like eerie, whimsical, dystopian fantasy, this is for you. The one thing that went through my mind all the way through was how familiar it felt, like I have dreamed the whole thing years ago and now read one of my own memories. Which made the title feel more than ironic.”About Karin Tidbeck
