Three women collide at a hotel in Colombo. None of them leave the same.
Anya has just broken a man's nose on a Colombo street and walked, still shaking, into the whitest hotel lobby she has ever seen. Tara is lounging in the pool with a drink in her hand. Mia is watching both of them. For one suspended day, outside the lives they're either living or escaping, the three of them are thrown together. In each other, they glimpse something none of them could see alone. For fans of Rachel Cusk's Outline and the unflinching gaze of I May Destroy You: this is a novel about the quiet violence of being made, again and again, into someone else's idea of you.
