    "description": "Permafrost\u2019s no-bullshit lesbian narrator is an uninhibited lover and a wickedly funny observer of modern life. Desperate to get out of Barcelona, she goes to Brussels, \u2018because a city whose symbol is a little boy pissing was a city I knew I would like\u2019; as an au pair in Scotland, she develops a hatred of the colour green. And everywhere she goes, she tries to break out of the roles set for her by family and society, chasing escape wherever it can be found: love affairs, travel, thoughts of suicide.\n\nFull of powerful, physical imagery, this prize-winning debut novel by acclaimed Catalan poet Eva Baltasar was a word-of-mouth hit in its own language. It is a breathtakingly forthright call for women\u2019s freedom to embrace both pleasure and solitude, and speaks of the body, of sex, and of the self.",
