Description
Asymmetry by Lisa Halliday explores the complexities and imbalances that shape our relationships. The novel is presented in three distinct sections, each offering a unique perspective on love, art, and the human experience. The story of Alice, an American editor, and her relationship with the writer Ezra Blazer, is tender and exquisite, set against the backdrop of New York during the early years of the Iraq War. In contrast, Amar's narrative, which takes place in a holding room at Heathrow, offers a different perspective on life, love, and art. As their stories intersect and overlap, new insights are revealed, posing important questions about the nature of fiction itself. A debut novel that explores the intricate connections between life, art, and human relationships, Asymmetry is an urgent and thought-provoking work that will resonate with readers.
