Description
Chrysalis is a novel that explores the transformation of a young woman through three distinct perspectives. Her physical evolution is witnessed by Elliot, who notices her at the gym, while her digital presence takes shape with Susie, her ex-colleague and best friend.
The story raises questions about the impact of this transformation on those around her, particularly her mother Bella, who reflects on their complex relationship as she watches her daughter break free from their close bond. Through its deadpan humour and hypermodern yet occult energy, Chrysalis invites readers to consider the truth between observers and the observed.
This daring novel is a thought-provoking exploration of identity, art, and solitude, with a unique blend of private logic and peculiar charm.
