About this book
A seventeen-year-old leaves an uneasy family home for a small women's college, carrying a private world of invented conversations and imagined companions with her. What begins as an awkward story of arrival slowly tilts: classmates and teachers become hard to read, a mentor's attention feels dangerous, and the narrator's grip on what is happening loosens page by page. Written with dry wit and a constant hum of dread, the novel stays close to one young woman's mind as loneliness hardens into something stranger. Atmospheric rather than explosive, it leaves much deliberately ambiguous and unnerving.
