NAMED AS ONE OF GRANTA MAGAZINE'S BEST OF YOUNG BRITISH NOVELISTS 2023 "An eerily cool debut... Tailor-made for the age of the internet" Daily Mail She is noticed by Elliot as he trains in in the gym. He sees her dedication to building her body and taking up space and he is drawn to her strength. She is observed by her mother as she grows from a taciturn tremulous child into a determined and distant woman who severs all familial ties. She is watched by her former colleague Susie who offers her sanctuary and support as she leaves her partner and rebuilds her life transforming her body and reinventing herself online. Each of these three witnesses desires closeness. Each is left with only the husk of the person they thought they knew before she became someone else: a woman on a singular and solitary path with the power to inspire and to influence her followers for good and ill. Chrysalis a story about solitude and selfhood and about the blurred line between self-care and narcissism. It is about controlling the body and the mind about the place of the individual within society and what it means when someone chooses to leave society behind. It is a strikingly contemporary story about the search for answers and those we trust to give them to us.
