Beskrivning

'Stark and brilliant; a must-read for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider' —Jessica Andrews, author of Saltwater and Milk Teeth'There's a gap where my sense of place should be. It's quite a useful one sometimes. It allows me to sit on the cusp of an opinion.'When a young woman moves to the Netherlands, she finds herself becoming increasingly disconnected to those around her. Over days spent alone, freelancing in her apartment, she picks through the details of her life with an obsessional devotion. But when she develops an uneasy friendship with Colette, a woman she neither likes nor can keep away from, anxieties about her purpose - or lack of it - begin to take over. In shining prose, award-winning Phoebe Walker's debut novel picks apart a young woman's paranoia and anxiety.Intimate, incisive and brilliantly observed, Temper explores loneliness and self-worth with head-nodding accuracy.

Walker's observations on the nature of work and the hollowness of modern life are stark and brilliant; a must-read for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider' —Jessica Andrews, author of Saltwater and Milk Teeth'An intimate portrait of a young woman dislocated and adrift, Temper is at once subtle and full of force, deeply relatable and coolly unfamiliar' —Chloe Ashby, author of Wet Paint'Phoebe Walker's prose is subtle, incisive, and rich in dark surprises. In Temper, she provides an unsettling and highly intimate account of loneliness, disconnection and malignant relationships. This is a quietly devastating debut' —Naomi Booth, author of Exit Management and Animals at Night'Poignant' —The Indiependent
