WINNER OF THE LAMBDA AWARD IN TRANSGENDER FICTION 2024
Soula is the most exciting new voice in Irish writing' Barry Pierce, i-D
'One of my favourite books so far this year' Shahed Ezaydi, Stylist
'Soula Emmanuel is a phenomenal talent' Laura Kay
'Searingly sharp, deliciously funny, profound' Danielle McLaughlin
New home, new name and newly thirty: Phoebe Forde has stepped into emigrant life in Copenhagen with her anxious dog, Dolly. Almost three years into her gender transition, she has learned to move through the world carefully, savouring small moments of joy.
A woman without a past can be anyone she wants - that is, until an unexpected visit from Grace, her first love, brings memories of Dublin and a life she thought she'd left behind.
Over the course of a single weekend, as their old romance kindles something sweet and radically unfamiliar, Grace helps Phoebe to navigate the jagged edges of migration, nostalgia and hope.
