Permafrost's no-bullshit lesbian narrator is an uninhibited lover
and a wickedly funny observer of modern life. Desperate to get out
of Barcelona, she goes to Brussels, 'because a city whose symbol is
a little boy pissing was a city I knew I would like'; as an au pair
in Scotland, she develops a hatred of the colour green. And
everywhere she goes, she tries to break out of the roles set for
her by family and society, chasing escape wherever it can be found:
love affairs, travel, thoughts of suicide. Full of powerful,
physical imagery, this prize-winning debut novel by acclaimed
Catalan poet Eva Baltasar was a word-of-mouth hit in its own
language. It is a breathtakingly forthright call for women's
freedom to embrace both pleasure and solitude, and speaks boldly of
the body, of sex, and of the self.
