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.
