- More about Boulder
Boulder is a woman who works as a cook on a merchant ship and falls in love with Samsa, a woman who gives her the nickname Boulder. When Samsa gets a job in Reykjavik and the couple decides to move there together, Samsa decides that she wants to have a child. Boulder is less enthused, but she doesn't know how to say no and is dragged along on a journey that feels thankless and alien. With motherhood changing Samsa into a stranger, Boulder must decide where her priorities lie and whether her yearning for freedom can truly trump her yearning for love.

Working as a cook on a merchant ship, a woman meets and falls in love with Samsa, a woman who gives her the nickname Boulder. When Samsa gets a job in Reykjavik and the couple decides to move there together, Samsa decides that she wants to have a child. She is already forty and cannot bear to let this opportunity pass her by. Boulder is less enthusiastic, but she does not know how to say no and finds herself dragged along on a journey that feels both thankless and alien. With motherhood changing Samsa into a stranger, Boulder must decide where her priorities lie and whether her yearning for freedom can truly trump her yearning for love. Once again, Eva Baltasar demonstrates her pre-eminence as a chronicler of queer voices navigating a hostile world, and in prose as brittle and beautiful as an ancient saga.
