Permafrost
A Literary Fiction Novel by Eva Baltasar
Subgenres:
- Lesbian Fiction,
- Psychological Fiction,
- Family Drama
This book is for you if you're into...
- Sharp, unapologetic lesbian narrators who refuse to sugarcoat anything
- Family drama where suffocating expectations clash with raw self-examination
- Characters wrestling with the will to live versus just existing
Permafrost's no-bullshit lesbian narrator is an uninhibited lover, a no-hope employee, and a some-time suicidal student of her own dislocated self.
As she tries to break out of the roles set for her by a controlling, overprotective mother, a relentlessly positive sister, and a society which imposes a gut-wrenching pressure to conform, she contemplates the so-called will to live when that life is given, rather than chosen.
Attempting to bridge the gap between the perennially frozen reaches of her outer shell and the tender core of her being, watching her relationships with family fracture and her many lovers come and go, the protagonist's reservations about staying alive become ever more pressing.
Passionate, urgent and breathtakingly forthright, this fiction debut from Catalan poet Eva Baltasar was a word-of-mouth hit in its own language and is a gift for readers in English.
