But the "cure" that lies ahead of her, and will protect her forever from the perilous affliction of "love", comes tangibly closer the powers above swear that, after it, people are rejuvenated – and even become better persons. Lena is a young girl who is full of confidence in the future, her school finals are over and she is looking forward to a relaxed summer with her best friend Hana. Marriages are arranged by the State and the Book of Psst sets down practices for social life, like a Bible. In her prize-winning book Delirium, published in Germany by Carlsen, Lauren Oliver combines features from the romantic novel with dystopian elements of the Brave New World kind.
