Description
In the stark quiet of the countryside, a disenchanted young lesbian sets out to build a life stripped to its essentials—trading the noise of the city for an isolated farmhouse and the hard, intimate work of becoming a mother. As she navigates desire, survival, and the daily labor of care, she forms unlikely bonds, tends to vulnerable animals, and confronts the social despair that seeps into even the most “simple” existence. Blending raw humor with fierce tenderness, the novel explores queer motherhood, bodily autonomy, and what it means to keep going when comfort and community feel out of reach. With Eva Baltasar’s wild, incisive voice and unflinching emotional momentum, this follow-up to her acclaimed work turns the pastoral into a pressure cooker—until the story erupts into a howling, unforgettable crescendo.
