Description
A young woman's world unravels after a broken engagement, leading her to a secluded mental institution under her mother's care. There, she grapples with a profound condition that renders her unable to perceive the bodies of others, transforming human interaction into an unsettling, incomplete experience. Through deceptively simple yet luminous prose, this novel delves into the complexities of perception, the delicate balance between intimacy and madness, and the ways memory and imagination can serve as both sanctuary and torment.
