Working as a cook on a merchant ship, a woman comes to know and love Samsa, a
woman who gives her the nickname 'Boulder'. When Samsa gets a job in Reykjavik
and the couple decides to move there together, Samsa decides that she wants to
have a child. She is already forty and can't bear to let the opportunity pass
her by. Boulder is less enthused, but doesn't know how to say no – and so finds
herself dragged along on a journey that feels as thankless as it is alien. With
motherhood changing Samsa into a stranger, Boulder must decide where her
priorities lie, and whether her yearning for freedom can truly trump her
yearning for love. Once again, Eva Baltasar demonstrates her pre-eminence as a
chronicler of queer voices navigating a hostile world – and in prose as brittle
and beautiful as an ancient saga.
