When Samsa gets a job in Reykjavik and the couple decides to move there together, Samsa decides that she wants to have a child. She is already forty and can't bear to let the opportunity pass her by. Boulder is less enthused, but doesn't know how to say no--and so finds herself dragged along on a journey that feels as thankless as it is alien. With motherhood changing Samsa into a stranger, Boulder must decide where her priorities lie, and whether her yearning for freedom can truly trump her yearning for love. Once again, Eva Baltasar demonstrates her preeminence as a chronicler of queer voices navigating a hostile world--and in prose as brittle and beautiful as an ancient saga." -- $c Publisher marketing. 650 0 $a Women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Lesbians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cooks $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Motherhood $v Fiction. 651 0 $a ReykjaviÌk (Iceland) $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Sanches, Julia, $e translator. 941 $a 4 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502014223.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012225.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230603010613.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230307010609.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4FB0773C447311EDBB956A3F21ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
