The snow has melted, but the thaw reveals a world transformed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLondon is in ruins, its population a fraction of its pre-freeze level. The weather has become wildly unpredictable - huge pressure swings leading to powerful localised storms. And this has led to an epidemic of migraine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen a storm hits, the pain comes, along with a wide range of visual and haptic hallucinations named migraine 'aura'. The novel starts with Ellis, one of a very small proportion of the population who don't suffer from weather-induced migraines, being struck by a migraine attack for the first time. After being blinded by hallucinations, he wakes in a ruined bookshop with its former owner, Sam, who pulled him to safety from the storm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo longer excluded from the migraine epidemic, Ellis decides to find his ex-girlfriend, Luna, and win her back. With Sam tagging along, he sets out from the bookshop and heads south. Compelling and insightful, Migraine is concerned with questions such as: what does a society look like, if it's organised around chronic pain? What kind of culture would this set of conditions produce?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished: 2026, UK\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Corsair\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 9781472158291\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Samuel Fisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57777002676555,"sku":null,"price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8755\/1819\/files\/9781472158291.jpg?v=1783339430","url":"https:\/\/desirelinesbookstore.com\/products\/migraine","provider":"desirelines books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
