Upon her mother's death, Paule Rojas, a vegetarian city-dweller, returns to the chicken farm where she grew up. Pressured to fulfil her mother's last request, Paule rediscovers pleasure and meaning in running the old family business. Yet, eager to bring something of herself to a family tradition, Paule embarks on increasingly intricate ways of helping the chickens to self-actualize before their deaths. She records the chickens' life stories, adding them to the labels that decorate the vacuum-packed meat sent off to market - an individual biography for every chicken. But not all runs smooth in her childhood village; Paule finds she has few friends and many enemies. She is forced to spread her wings, relocate her livestock, and oversee the construction of an urban farm of never-before-seen practices and proportions.

A razor-sharp and seductively hypnotic debut novel about the very fantasy of falling in love. Emily didn’t join the cast of The One for fame or for a relationship. She simply didn’t have anything better to do. Newly fired from her dead-end job, it doesn’t take much convincing when she’s recruited as a last-minute contestant for the popular reality dating show. Emily has been performing her entire life—for her family and friends, former boyfriends, and coworkers. How different could it be playing herself in front of cameras? But the moment Emily arrives, it becomes clear she’s been tapped to win it all. Emily’s producer Miranda sees her as the golden ticket: generically pretty, affable, and easily molded—all the qualities of a future Wife. Emily herself is less certain. It’s easy enough to fall in love under romantic lighting and perfectly crafted dates, but it’s harder to remember what’s real and what’s designed. And as Emily’s fascination with another contestant grows, both Emily and Miranda are forced to decide what it is they really want—and what they are willing to do to get it. A brilliant send-up of our cultural mythology around romance, The One examines the reality of love and desire set against a world of ultimate artifice and manipulation.

Between a deeply fractured family life, feelings of crushing loneliness, and long-term mental illness, twenty-four-year-old Carla is thoroughly disenchanted with life, and as a result, fascinated with the idea of ending it all. Life is meaningless, but despite this, she finds something resembling purpose in the world of cinema. Her love for the art of moviemaking keeps her alive - at least for the time being. When Carla moves to Geneva for an internship, she is entering a new chapter of her life: a new career, new friends, new opportunities. However, she has no idea of what the future holds for her. Little does she know that this is the beginning of the end: a twisted rollercoaster ride of highs and lows that will find her at a breaking point. A masterful debut, Force Majeure is a heartbreakingly poignant, yet razor-sharp and darkly witty glimpse into the reality of living with mental illness.
