About the Book

The fresh, wry, piercingly contemporary debut about a young woman who moves to Berlin to escape her demons - and what she finds there. For fans of My Year of Rest and Relaxation and Exciting Times. In the grip of existential malaise, 25 year-old Daphne moves to Berlin and rents a flat in fashionable Kreuzberg. She attends language lessons, joins a running group, and eats absurd amounts of ice cream and M&Ms. When a series of mysterious and troubling events explodes into her life - beginning with a brick hurled through her bedroom window in the dead of night - it becomes clear that Daphne hasn't left all her problems at home. As dark and surprising as it is funny and wise, BERLIN introduces a delightfully unreliable narrator and a thrilling new literary talent, channelling the modern female experience with great wit and startling originality.

About the Author :
Bea Setton was born in France and has lived in Paris, the USA and Berlin, the city which inspired her critically acclaimed debut novel. She then studied at Cambridge for a master's in Philosophy & Theology, and this inspired the setting of her second book, Plaything. Bea currently divides her time between Berlin and Oxford, Mississippi, where she is writing her third novel.

Review :
Scintillating . . . Berlin is wonderfully funny, and Daphne's observations about modern life, men and the challenges facing young women always hit the nail Uncommonly funny, cinematically vivid, and refreshingly honest about how we deceive others and ourselves. Anyone who's started over in a new city -- let alone a new country -- will relate . . . One for Sally Rooney fans 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. Combining the darkness of a thriller with humour, Bea Setton's debut is a fresh and deeply honest take on the modern female experience

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
