Hello,

Our April book is Intimacies by Katie Kitamura.

Tipped by Barack Obama, this is an addictively mysterious novel about a woman adrift in her own life.

The book is deeply concerned with place. At lunch with her boss, our unnamed protagonist is asked, “Where is your family,” meaning, where do you belong? It’s a question that comes up more than once, and one the protagonist can’t answer. She’s stuck between cultures, between languages, between moral positions; even her relationship is on undefined ground.

Happy reading

Thanks
