Fiction
A forty-year-old lesbian, who is still living the untethered life, goes back to past and again to her flirtations with the void. In her first-person stream of consciousness, she revisits episodes from her past within her family, other places she has lived, the many women she has loved and made love to —and their own suicidal tendencies— while juxtaposing her sister’s more conventional life against her own.
The confidential tone of this poet’s first novel —and the first instalment of a trilogy— immerses readers into the limits of the narrator’s life, the only place where she feels truly alive. Our heroine claims to zealously maintain a place of permafrost inside her, an inner sanctum she never allows to melt, yet by the novel’s devastating denouement, we are privy to the many cracks that reveal her sensuous light.
