Synopsis
Camelia is a young Italian woman who lives with her mother in Leeds, a city where it is always December and winter has been underway for such a long time that nobody is old enough to have seen what came before. She's dropped out of university and translates instruction manuals for an Italian washing machine manufacturer; her mother, Livia, spends her days inside taking photographs of holes she finds in the house. Things soon change for Camilla when she meets Wen, a shop owner who teaches her Chinese. This unusual love story is funny, unpredictable and perfectly bittersweet.

Review
'There is a preoccupation with language in these pages with symbolic undertones and foreshadowing in the Chinese lessons... And all this from an author in her early twenties a worthy winner of Italy's Campiello First Novel Prize.' --Lizzy's Literary Life
'Of all the books I read in 2013, this may be the one that most thoroughly depicts the real world as a strange and treacherous landscape. This is a novel about the power of language to shape perception.' --Follow the Thread
Four Europa Editions titles have been longlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. --IMPAC Dublin Literary Award
