About this listen

This audio edition is captivatingly read by a full cast of outstanding narrators.

From the internationally bestselling author of The Atlas Six, Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a glimpse into the nature of love, what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken.


Chicago, sometime. Two people meet in the armory of the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. After their meeting, those things do not change.

Everything else, however, is slightly different.

Both obsessive, eccentric personalities, Aldo Damiani and Charlotte Regan struggle to be without each other from the moment they meet. The truth - that he is a clinically depressed, anti-social theoretician and she is a manipulative liar with a history of self-sabotage - means the deeper they fall in love, the more troubling their reliance on each other becomes.

Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a literary, intimate study of time, space - and a love story like no other.

Critic reviews

The pages fly by in this character-driven novel that is intimate, complicated, and utterly romantic (Booklist)
Far from your average love story . . . well worth the ride (Heat)
The narration is stunning . . . 100% recommend (Utopia State of Mind)
This is a book to savor (Publishers Weekly)
Lethally smart. Filled with a cast of brilliantly realized characters, each entangled with one another in torturously delicious ways, The Atlas Six will grip you by the throat and refuse to let go (Chloe Gong, author of These Violent Delights, on The Atlas Six)
As much a delicious contest of wit, will, and passion as it is of magic, this book is half mystery, half puzzle, and wholly a delight (Holly Black, author The Cruel Prince, on The Atlas Six)
Coolly horrific, brilliantly brainy and utterly compelling (Daily Mail on The Atlas Six)
All stars
Most relevant
The first few parts of the book are really immersive and they format is unique and fascinating, the production is great, but as a story, the intrigue quite quickly dies away. This is not a particularly unique book though it tries to hide that by being self important and slightly convoluted. It is an enjoyable listen if you suspend your critical thinking

This book has accurate representation of what it can be like with mental health, as someone who takes regular mood stability medication

So I loved this book so much. It’s completely manic at moments and tells the story of how to love someone who feels truly broken. Waiting, longing and eventually getting the love you deserve. It’s fantastic soul consuming obsessive love with dual perspectives!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Olivie Blake

LOVED IT

I really enjoyed this overall. There were parts I found tricky. The literary tool of the narrator was not my favourite but I wonder if this in part because I listened rather than read it. At times I found myself hoping the madness was reality and reality was imaginings. If you get stuck, keep going. I think it’s worth it

Beautiful and insightful

Wow, what an amazing novel, indeed it might even be my favorite novel ever. For me it was a beautiful, intelligent and compelling meditation on love. I loved the intensity and intimacy of the format. it's so rare to find such carefully constructed characters and dialogue these days.

Wow
