The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders
Set on a tidally locked planet where one side perpetually faces the sun while the other is shrouded in endless night, this novel follows the intertwined lives of two young women. One, a working-class student, is exiled into the night after a rebellious act, where she discovers a city thriving in the darkness. The other, a privileged but disillusioned socialite, seeks to change the corrupt society from within. Their paths cross as they become entangled in a struggle against an oppressive regime and encounter an alien species with a unique perspective on life. Together, they must navigate a world of extreme inequality and environmental peril, challenging their beliefs and fighting for a better future.
