Berlin: The dazzling, darkly funny debut that surprises at every turn
About this audiobook
Brought to you by Penguin.
Featuring an exclusive bonus interview between the author, Bea Setton, and her commissioning editor, Alice Youell.
A 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 for a fresh start. Far from resolving her quarter-life crisis, things take a turn for the worse.
Because Daphne doesn't just have to navigate all the archetypal experiences of an outsider in the big city - acquiring friends and lovers, grappling with the language and a whole new way of life.
A series of mysterious and troubling events are in motion - starting with a brick hurled through her bedroom window in the dead of night - and a further unravelling ensues. What is at the heart of these strange events and our troubled heroine? Who is Daphne, really, and what is she running from?
