Cecilia

Brought to you by Penguin.A surreal novella about the intensity and eroticism of girlhood friendships, the ecstasy of desire and disgust, matriarchal mythmaking and the haunting presence of crows.Seven, who works as a cleaner at a chiropractor's office, reencounters Cecilia, a woman who has obsessed her since their school days. As the two of them board the same bus - each dubiously claiming not to be following the other - their chance meeting spurs a series of intensely vivid and corporeal memories.Smart, subversive and gripping, Cecilia is a winding, misty road trip through bodily transformation, inextricable histories of desire and violence, diaspora and obsessive love.(c)2024 K-Ming Chang (P)2024 Penguin Audio
