Love and Other Thought Experiments is an experimental novel by Sophie Ward, longlisted for the Booker Prize in 2020. Rachel and Eliza live completely ordinary lives. They don’t always find a common language with their parents, they encounter problems at work, and they plan to have a child. But something changes once and for all in their relationship. The Night an Ant Crawls into Rachel's Eye/The Night They Find a Colony of Ants Behind the Bed Told in chapters that are cleverly woven together, this story is a true exploration of love, identity, and reality. And what begins as colorful vignettes of family life turns into a real philosophical experiment.

“A dizzying dance of ideas.” — Sophie Kinsella “Touching, vibrant and sensual.” — THE GUARDIAN
