Inhaltsangabe

In a world where no one is sure who or what is human, Miranda will have to fight to survive, and to raise a daughter who only wants to know the one secret Miranda can never tell...

Thanks for Meeting Me Here is a story about a woman finding her place in a political and technological world that is beyond what we're used to. Through a series of disasters, Miranda has wound up with a mix of biological and artificial body parts. Now she and her daughter are in danger because their government is waffling on whether she deserves any human rights. And for her whole life, Miranda loves and is loved by a woman and a man, and each has gone missing from her life in physical and emotional ways. She's determined to find some hope for her future, and to reunite with her beloved daughter as they meet in a tea shop in London to catch up on their troubling past.

Bronfman's book offers the reader a "wide-reaching yet intimate embrace. It is a futuristic novel of kinship, resilience, and purpose, covering many years, deftly touching down with its brief and tangible chapters. The reader is offered a series of intuitively-connected windows that leap across time to conjure the enduring relationship between a mother and her daughter amid cultural and technological changes that extend over their long lives. Their connection must be flexible enough to overcome and transcend many obstacles in a technocratic future that threatens to engulf and consume them."
