Beskrivning
Will Boast’s long-anticipated first novel is an “outrightmarvelous debut [that] breathes fresh vigorinto timeless questions of love and risk” (Lauravan den Berg). Born with a rare condition in which she suffersdegrees of paralysis when faced with intense emotion, Daphnehas had few close friends and fewer lovers. Like her mythicnamesake, one touch can freeze her. But when Daphne meetsshy, charming Ollie, her well-honed defenses falter, and she’sfaced with a critical choice: cling to her protective isolation orrisk the recklessness of real intimacy. Set against the backdropof a San Francisco flush with money and pulsing with protest,Daphne is “an amiable exploration of how humans might cometo manage their raucous hearts” (NewYorker.com).

Recensioner i media

"An elegant meditation on modern-day emotion. . . . Boast is interested in the ways we handle the unwieldy welter of emotions that defines human existence (“We’re absolutely pickled in it,” Daphne notes), how we protect ourselves from the pain of others and fail to express our own. . . . Even the most hard-hearted reader will find Boast’s deep awe of “what it is to feel” catching."
