"A perfect novel-taut and seductive." -Brandon Taylor, author of Real Life and Filthy Animals
"Gripping and elegant. No one's work simmers with emotional complexity like Katie Kitamura's." -Mira Jacob, author of Good Talk
An interpreter has come to The Hague to escape New York and work at the International Court. A woman of many languages and identities, she is looking for a place to finally call home.
She's drawn into simmering personal dramas: her lover, Adriaan, is separated from his wife but still entangled in his marriage. Her friend Jana witnesses a seemingly random act of violence, a crime the interpreter becomes increasingly obsessed with as she befriends the victim's sister. And she's pulled into an explosive political controversy when she's asked to interpret for a former president accused of war crimes.
A woman of quiet passion, she confronts power, love, and violence, both in her personal intimacies and in her work at the Court. She is soon pushed to the precipice, where betrayal and heartbreak threaten to overwhelm her, forcing her to decide what she wants from her life.

Iconic Style and Quiet Power: Katie's writing is both completely absorbing, commanding, and yet rhythmically unique. She has a cadence all her own that creates a beautiful read, one that's tightly paced, full of tension and simmering passion. There is a cult of fans waiting for her next novel and they have already begun to come out, in advance of publication.
A Novel for Adults: The moral complexities, the relationships, the cultural and social implications of this story reads like Sally Rooney for grown-ups, with the European sensibility of Elena Ferrante or Rachel Cusk.
Timely, Essential Reading: Katie weaves the topics of xenophobia, sexual harassment, power dynamics, race, diplomacy, and political legacy into a deeply human story about the moral complexities and personal reckonings of her characters.
