Desperate to get out of Barcelona, she goes to  Brussels, ‘because a city whose symbol is a little boy pissing  was a city I knew I would like’; as an au pair in  Scotland, she develops a hatred of the colour green. And everywhere she goes,  she tries to break out of the roles set for her by family and society, chasing  escape wherever it can be found: love affairs, travel, thoughts of suicide.  Full of powerful, physical imagery, this prize-winning debut novel by acclaimed Catalan poet Eva Baltasar was a word-of-mouth hit in its own language. It is a breathtakingly forthright call for women’s freedom to embrace both pleasure and solitude, and speaks boldly of the body, of sex, and of the self.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49738139435281,"sku":"NGR9781911508755","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49931722293521,"sku":"CIN191150875XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50184960311569,"sku":"GOR011672918","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51058268569873,"sku":"NIN9781911508755","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51417831112977,"sku":"CIN191150875XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51532347900177,"sku":"GOR011271788","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52703658869009,"sku":"GOR013310070","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/191150875X.jpg?v=1750867446"},{"product_id":"mammoth-book-eva-baltasar-9781916751002","title":"Mammoth","description":"The follow up novel to International Booker-shortlisted Boulder is a story of queer motherhood and survival deep in the countryside.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50014712430865,"sku":"NGR9781916751002","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50964417610001,"sku":"GOR014150655","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51058382274833,"sku":"NIN9781916751002","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51306451697937,"sku":"CIN1916751008G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51838618370321,"sku":"CIN1916751008VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51870983848209,"sku":"GOR014437513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52109272842513,"sku":"GOR013779845","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53254878069009,"sku":"GOR014836476","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1916751008.jpg?v=1751315152"},{"product_id":"permafrost-spanish-edition-book-eva-baltasar-9788439735144","title":"Permafrost (Spanish Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eUno de los mejores libros del 2018 según Babelia.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePermafrost\u003c\/i\u003e es el sorprendente debut de Eva Baltasar, una  historia contundente, íntima y carnal de una protagonista con pulsiones  suicidas que se protege del exterior pero se entrega con intensidad al sexo con otras mujeres, la literatura y el arte.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEl permafrost es esa capa de la tierra permanentemente congelada y es  también la membrana que cubre a la protagonista de esta novela.
