Product Information

Iris talks often about how she hears noises outside her window that sound like voices, and she's often confused by how she can't see anyone's bodies outside, but overall it's left as this relatively eerie mystery.

The latter was shortlisted for the Encore Award and recommended by Florence Welch's book club, Between Two Books.

She has framed the novel as a millennial tale, defined by social media and hashtags, cynical references to veganism, yoga, and other trends. In the opening pages of Luiza Sauma’s second novel, Iris Cohen reflects on the choice she made to abandon Earth and its soulless grind for life in another solar system.This book was my first novel by Sara Shepard that i've read, and was really excited to read it, but was let down.
