This love flourishes despite their disparate backgrounds: Sadie grew up in Beverly Hills in an affluent Jewish family, while Sam was raised in Koreatown by his Korean grandparents after the death of his mother in the very accident that demolished Sam’s foot. In this way, Sam and Sadie fall in love at a young age, though their love is platonic.
As they wait around, they begin to play video games together, developing the bridge of play that will bind them for the rest of their lives. Sadie’s sister, Alice, is recovering from leukemia, and Sam is recovering from a terrible car accident that practically destroys one of his feet, an injury that haunts him throughout his life. When they’re eleven, Sam and Sadie meet at the hospital.
If ever there were ever a novel that replicates the addictive, multi-level quality of video games, it would be Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow (416 pages Knopf),an endearing and loving portrait of three friends who start their own video game company.
