Description
A dazzling portrait of melancholy and metamorphosis, August Blue explores the ways in which we seek to lose an old story, find ourselves in others, and create ourselves anew. When concert pianist Elsa M. Anderson walks off the stage in Vienna, mid-performance, she sets in motion a journey across Europe that will lead her to confront the forces that drive her and the inner music that controls her life.
Deborah Levy's lyrical prose weaves together a mesmerising tale of identity and breakdown, flickering constantly between comedy and darkness. As Elsa navigates the complexities of her past and present, she becomes increasingly entwined with a mysterious woman who seems to embody her own contradictions.
