The Dream Hotel
Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2025
A gripping, inventive and terrifying speculative mystery about privacy, freedom and survival - from the Pulitzer Prize and Booker Prize nominated author
Sara is at the airport, travelling home from a work conference. Out of nowhere she s pulled aside by agents from the Risk Assessment Administration. Their algorithm has determined that she s an immediate threat to her husband, and must be kept under observation at a retention centre for twenty-one days.
The evidence? Data collected from her dreams.
When she arrives at the centre, she discovers that each deviation from their strict and ever-changing rules - loitering in the hallway, a non-compliant hairstyle - results in her stay being extended. Desperate to return to her family, Sara must make a choice. Does she play by their rules, or risk taking matters into her own hands?

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
