*FOR FANS OF MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION, EXCITING TIMES AND WRITERS & LOVERS*

When Daphne Ferber arrives in Berlin for a fresh start in a thrilling new city, the last thing she expects is to run into more drama than she left behind.

Of course, she knew she'd need to do the usual: make friends, acquire lovers, grapple with German and a whole new way of life. She even expected the long nights gorging alone on family-sized jars of Nutella, and the pitfalls of online dating in another language. The paranoia, the second-guessing of her every choice, the covert behaviours? Probably come with the territory.

But one night, something strange, dangerous and entirely unexpected intervenes, and life in bohemian Kreuzberg suddenly doesn't seem so cool.

Just how much trouble is Daphne in, and who - or what - is out to get her?

Channelling the modern female experience with razor-sharp observation and witty flair, Berlin announces Bea Setton as an electrifying literary voice for her generation.

Críticas
'One for Sally Rooney fans' Sunday Telegraph

'Scintillating . . . wonderfully funny' Financial Times

'Terrific . . . [an] unsettling and compelling read' Observer

'I was completely absorbed' FRANCESCA REECE, author of Voyeur

'I loved this novel with its complex, flawed and fascinating heroine' NICK BRADLEY, author of The Cat and the City

Scintillating . . . Berlin is wonderfully funny, and Daphne's observations about modern life, men and the challenges facing young women always hit the nail * FINANCIAL TIMES *

Uncommonly funny, cinematically vivid, and refreshingly honest about how we deceive others and ourselves. * Lisa Halliday, author of ASYMMETRY *

Anyone who's started over in a new city -- let alone a new country -- will relate . . . One for Sally Rooney fans * Sunday Telegraph *

A compelling, raw, and thrillingly strange outsider tale of loneliness and deception. Setton is a wonderful writer who, with this sharp debut, adds to the great canon of contemporary anti-heroines. * Mona Awad, author of BUNNY *

Setton builds her growing paranoia and sense of dread to terrific effect in this unsettling, compelling read. * OBSERVER *
