Zwei Frauen, eine Liebe, unzählige BeziehungsmöglichkeitenWas wäre, wenn wir die Geschichte eines Paares immer und immer wieder erleben könnten? Bei Myriam und Allison ist das so: Sie verlieben sich, aber ihre Geschichte ist immer eine andere. Sie werden Eltern oder schreiben einen Bestseller, sie streiten sich oder verfallen in Sprachlosigkeit. Welchen Weg sie auch einschlagen, immer begegnen ihnen die vielen Versprechungen und Gefahren der Liebe. Bissig, unerschrocken und konsequent bis zum letzten Satz erzählt Myriam Lacroix in diesem Roman von den unendlichenMöglichkeiten der Liebe und legt dabei das Herz unserer Beziehungen offen.Als Myriam und Allison sich auf einer Party in einem besetzten Haus schlagartig ineinander verlieben, entspinnen sich verschiedene Versionen ihrer Beziehung. Was wäre, wenn sie in einer Gasse ein Baby finden und es aufnehmen würden? Was wäre, wenn Myriams Depression nur durch Allisons Körper geheilt werden könnte? Was wäre, wenn eine von ihnenerfolgreicher wäre als die andere? Myriam und Allison entscheiden sich immer wieder füreinander, sei es zu Beginn ihrer gemeinsamen Liebe oder nachdem sie in die unweigerlichen Untiefen ihrer langjährigen Beziehung geraten sind. Sie spüren in aller Konsequenz, was es bedeutet, wenn sie aufhören, miteinander zu streiten und stattdessen sprichwörtlich im Gleichschritt laufen. Mit trockenem Witz und herzzerreißender Offenheit erzählt Myriam Lacroix von Queerness, Liebe und unserem Wunsch nach Verbindung in allen möglichen Welten.»Was für ein kühnes, atemberaubendes und inspirierendes Debüt.« George Saunders
