Cheryl esta en la cuarentena, vive sola y es reservada. Por extrano que parezca, suele mantener conversaciones con cualquier recien nacido que se encuentra. Hace tiempo que trabaja en una empresa que mezcla videos de autodefensa femenina con el fitness, y ahora esta enamorada de uno de los miembros del consejo de administracion. Un dia, Cheryl se ve obligada a acoger en su casa, y por un tiempo indeterminado, a Clee, la hija veinteanera de sus jefes. El antagonismo entre ambas, patente desde el principio, deriva en enfrentamientos fisicos y violentos en los que Cheryl siempre es la victima; un bullying domestico consentido con connotaciones sexuales. En este marco surrealista, llega el dia en que Clee confiesa estar embarazada y esto lo cambia todo. La aclamada cineasta, artista y escritora Miranda July nos presenta su primera novela. Un debut novelistico espectacular, lleno del universo excentrico y surrealista por el que la autora ya ha sido reconocida. Una novela fascinante, llena de ternura y astutamente divertida que conecta emocionalmente al lector con comportamientos que se alejan de lo convencional.

When Cheryl s bosses ask if their twenty-one-year-old daughter Clee can move into her house for a little while, Cheryl s eccentrically ordered world explodes. And yet it is Cleethe selfish, cruel blond bombshel
