About this book

A haunting exploration of a woman's crumbling psyche as she navigates a suffocating cohabitation with a man who refuses to acknowledge her identity. Bachmann masterfully weaves a dreamlike narrative where the boundaries between reality, memory, and madness dissolve, leaving the reader to question the very nature of selfhood.
