Description
Two women, bound by loneliness and radically different relationships to their bodies, search for meaning amid desire, shame, anger, and the longing to be seen. As their lives intersect, the novel probes the fraught dynamics of power, sexuality, identity, and self-invention in contemporary society. With dark wit, psychological intensity, and unsparing compassion, it explores the hidden places where vulnerability can become both a source of connection and a means of control.
