The fresh, wry, piercingly contemporary debut about a young woman who moves to Berlin to escape her demons - and what she finds there. For fans of My Year of Rest and Relaxation and Exciting Times. In the grip of existential malaise, 25 year-old Daphne moves to Berlin and rents a flat in fashionable Kreuzberg. She attends language lessons, joins a running group, and eats absurd amounts of ice cream and M&Ms. When a series of mysterious and troubling events explodes into her life - beginning with a brick hurled through her bedroom window in the dead of night - it becomes clear that Daphne hasn' t left all her problems at home. As dark and surprising as it is funny and wise, BERLIN introduces a delightfully unreliable narrator and a thrilling new literary talent, channelling the modern female experience with great wit and startling originality.
Uncommonly funny, cinematically vivid, and refreshingly honest about how we deceive others and ourselves. * Lisa Halliday, author of ASYMMETRY * Weird, compelling and unique: I was completely absorbed by BERLIN, with its slippery, unsettling narrator, its vivid evocation of a city seen through the troubling lens of disorientation, and by the writing itself, which gleamed. * Francesca Reece, author of VOYEUR *
Bea Setton was born in France and spent her early years in the Parisian suburbs before moving to the USA to study Philosophy. Upon graduating, she relocated to Berlin, and the city became the inspiration for this novel. She currently divides her time between London and Cambridge, where she is studying for a PhD in the Anthropology of Religion, and working on plans for her second book.
