Torrey Peters, the author of "Detransition, Baby," has crafted a beautiful book that is filled with sharp longing and perfectly phrased vulnerability. I read it in a reverent hush, unable to tear my eyes away from the pages.
The novel has flashes of Sally Rooney's "Conversations with Friends" and Halle Butler's "The New Me." It is a captivating blend of eroticism and devastation, leaving the reader in awe of the author's talent.
Mallory sees the woman for the first time at her college gym and is immediately transfixed. As a naturally reserved person who is reeling from the loss of her mother, Mallory finds herself compelled by the woman's assurance and longs to know her better. Despite the discovery that she is a professor at the college, Mallory finds herself falling into a complicated love affair with the woman, the stakes of which she never quite understands.
In the years that follow, Mallory must come to terms with how the relationship shaped her, for better or worse, and learn to become a part of the world that she sacrificed for the sake of a woman she never truly knew.
In this enthralling debut novel, the complexities of influence, obsession, and admiration reveal how desire and its consequences can alter the trajectory of a life. The author's poetic precision and ability to blend image and idea are truly remarkable.
The novel channels the melancholic exhilaration of dangerous love, leaving the reader feeling both thrilled and heartbroken. It is a must-read for anyone who appreciates a well-crafted story that explores the depths of human emotion.
Hart's talent as a storyteller is undeniable, and "Detransition, Baby" is guaranteed to wow readers with its depth and complexity. Don't miss out on this exceptional book!
