From the author of A Room Called Earth, a brilliant new novel about the mess that comes before salvation.

Camille lives in the country.

She’s forgotten her phone.

She’s taking the train to work.

She’s got period pain.

She can’t escape herself … or her toxic boss, Holly. And it’s Valentine’s Day.

Praise for A Room Called Earth–

‘As an autistic woman, I rarely see myself in novels, let alone ones that are by us and for us. A Room Called Earth spoke to me on every page.’
-Naoise Dolan, author of Exciting Times

‘A Room Called Earth is visceral and voluptuous … The book is a quiet celebration of holding dear to the space within yourself and if you look beyond your skin, how earth itself can bring comfort and wonder.’
-Thuy On, The Sydney Morning Herald

‘Instead of keeping us at arm’s length, Ryan’s narrator allows us to loiter in her brain the entire time, with no feelings or thoughts off-limits. What unfolds is an act of radical generosity. It’s less unfiltered stream of consciousness and more a continuous hum of deeply flawed, compassionate, curious, unpredictable thoughts that reveal a neurodivergent worldview.’
-Nathania Gilson, The Saturday Paper
