Description
In a world where identity can be worn like a costume and desire reshapes the body, a young woman’s life collides with the unsettling presence of Paul—an entity that seems to move through her with intimate, transformative force. As the boundaries between the sacred and the ordinary blur, the story follows her attempts to understand what is happening to her, and what it means to consent, to change, and to be seen. With sharp, lyrical prose and a fearless attention to power, intimacy, and the politics of the self, this novel blends psychological tension with speculative transformation. It’s a haunting exploration of gender, faith, and the ways love can both liberate and consume.
