Emma van Straaten: This Immaculate Body, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

'Stirring to its very core, This Immaculate Body enthralls beyond measure. It bleeds, burns and beguiles, and asks you, dear reader, to give in to obsession. Truly, a religious experience' LUCY ROSE, author of THE LAMB

'Original, darkly funny and addictive with twists that will leave you reeling' GLAMOUR

'An evocative story that deserves immediate cult status' DAZED

Can you climb inside a stranger's life and make him love you?

Alice knows every detail of Tom's life. She has taken a side hustle as a cleaner just to feel close to him, to wipe every smudge from his coffee cups, smooth every crease of his bed, read every email in his inbox. She is in love. And Tom will love her too - once he has met her.

While Alice masterminds the bone-shattering romance she knows they will have, she tries to morph into the woman Tom will want. And when this happens, no one - not her mother, not her sister, not her sneering co-workers - will be able to look down on her anymore.

' A momentous, kaleidoscopic portrait of a woman on the edge. A wild ride from start to finish' HANAKO FOOTMAN, author of MONGREL

'Rich and delicious and evocative . . . an accomplished and visceral debut' KIRSTY CAPES, author of GIRLS
