We’re never quite sure what made Chloé take a flight to an unnamed country in South America. This series of short vignettes provides a glimpse of her scattered thoughts as she attempts to adjust to life in a new setting. Amidst the quirky observational humour of her internal monologue, a story of loneliness emerges, as she tries to form meaningful connections in her new surroundings.

Reviews
“a daring, raw and engaging narrative … The translator has done a fine job in rendering the rangy, demotic voice of this narrator: the prose never drags its heels.” (Simon Lavery, Tredynas Days)Book details
