AS A 2021 BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR BY OBSERVER, INDEPENDENT, FINANCIAL
TIMES, EVENING STANDARD, GRAZIA, STYLIST, ELLE THE NATIONAL, FIVE
BOOKS AND BURO A couple drive from London to coastal Provence. Anya
is preoccupied with what she feels is a relationship on the verge;
unequal, precarious. Luke, reserved, stoic, gives away nothing. As
the sun sets one evening, he proposes, and they return to London
engaged. But planning a wedding does little to settle Anya's
unease. As a child, she escaped from Sarajevo, and the idea of
security is as alien now as it was then. When social convention
forces Anya to return, she begins to change. The past she sought to
contain for as long as she can remember resurfaces, and the hot
summer builds to a startling climax. Lean, sly and unsettling,
Asylum Road is about the many borders governing our lives: between
men and women, assimilation and otherness, nations, families, order
and chaos. What happens, and who do we become, when they break
down?
