Description
Frances, a twenty-one-year-old college student, navigates the complexities of her life in Dublin. By day, she works at a literary agency, and by night, she performs spoken word with her friend Bobbi, a past girlfriend. When they're profiled by a journalist, they're thrust into a world of luxury and excess.
Frances finds herself entangled in a complicated relationship with Nick, the journalist's husband, which challenges her intellectual certainties and forces her to confront her desires and vulnerabilities. As she struggles to reconcile her past and present selves, Frances's life becomes a series of moments, each one painful and disorienting.
This novel explores the intricacies of human relationships, desire, and identity, offering a nuanced and thought-provoking portrayal of young adulthood.
