‘NORTH IS AN ORIGINAL AND EVEN DAZZLING WRITER’ Kirkus

From the award-winning, bestselling Claire North comes a brand new stand-alone novella – a clever and unnervingly plausible dystopian tale set five minutes into the future . . .

Harmony is tired. Tired of working so hard, tired of the way she looks, tired of being average. But all that changes when she decides to splash out and upgrade her nanos.

And why not? Everyone’s doing it now. With a simple in-app purchase, you can update the tech in your bloodstream to transform yourself – get enhanced brain power, the perfect body or a dazzling smile.

Suddenly, everything starts going right for Harmony. She’s finally becoming the person she always wanted to be. But when she ends up running too many upgrades on her body all at once, the effects will be more catastrophic than she could have imagined.

With Sweet Harmony, Claire North proves yet again that she is one of the most innovative and original voices in modern fiction.
