Cecilia

Thrillingly disorienting... ultra-sensual' GUARDIAN'Hauntingly beautiful' GLAMOUR'Rowdy and razor-sharp' ALEXandRA KLEEMANAn erotic, surreal novella about the ecstasies of intense friendships and obsessive loveSeven, who works as a cleaner at a chiropractor’s office, re-encounters Cecilia, a woman who has obsessed her since their school days. As the two of them board the same bus – each dubiously claiming not to be following the other – their chance meeting spurs a series of intensely vivid and corporeal memories. As past and present bleed together, Seven can feel her desire begin to unmoor her from the flow of time. Smart, subversive and gripping, Cecilia is a winding, misty road trip through bodily transformation, inextricable histories of violence and love, and the ghosts of girlhood friendship.
