An eerily familiar reflection of our current moment ... It continues to haunt me NATASHA BROWN, I PAPER BOOKS OF THE YEARI will go wherever she takes me. A phenomenal book DAISY JOHNSONA brilliant, scalding novel ... sharp, intricately layered, impossible to forget MEGAN HUNTERStunning ... beautifully written and deeply unsettling BOOKSELLER, EDITORS CHOICECHOSEN AS A 2021 BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR BY OBSERVER, INDEPENDENT, FINANCIAL TIMES, EVENING STANDARD, GRAZIA, STYLIST, ELLE THE NATIONAL, FIVE BOOKS AND BUROA couple drive from London to coastal Provence. Anya is preoccupied with what she feels is a relationship on the verge unequal, precarious. Luke, reserved, stoic, gives away nothing. As the sun sets one evening, he proposes, and they return to London engaged. But planning a wedding does little to settle Anyas unease. As a child, she escaped from Sarajevo, and the idea of security is as alien now as it was then. When social convention forces Anya to return, she begins to change. The past she sought to contain for as long as she can remember resurfaces, and the hot summer builds to a startling climax.Lean, sly and unsettling, Asylum Road is about the many borders governing our lives between men and women, assimilation and otherness, nations, families, order and chaos. What happens, and who do we become, when they break down?
