Watch Michelle de Swarte (@michelledeswarte) read an extract from ‘Boulder’, an #InternationalBooker2023-shortlisted novel written by Eva Baltasar and translated by Julia Sanches. The story so far: When Samsa and ‘Boulder’ decide to move to Reykjavik together, Samsa announces that she wants to have a child. She is 40 and can’t bear to let the opportunity pass her by. Boulder is less enthused but doesn’t know how to say no, finding herself on a journey to decide where her priorities lie, and whether her yearning for freedom will trump her yearning for love.
