Description
Elsa M. Anderson, a renowned concert pianist, walks off the stage in Vienna, mid-performance. She is now in Athens, watching as a stranger buys a pair of mechanical dancing horses at a flea market. The horses are identical to the ones Elsa once owned, but they are no longer for sale. She sets out on a journey across Europe, pursued by the enigmatic woman who purchased the horses. This is a story of transformation, as Elsa seeks to lose her past and find herself in others. As Elsa navigates the continent, she becomes increasingly obsessed with the mysterious woman, who seems to be mirroring her every move. Their paths converge and diverge in unexpected ways, leading Elsa to question her own identity and the stories she has created for herself. A dazzling portrait of melancholy and metamorphosis, August Blue is a thought-provoking exploration of the human experience. Deborah Levy's prose is a masterclass in originality and expression, weaving a complex narrative that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
