A woman in her mid-twenties moves back home to live with her parents, where her listlessness fuels an obsession with cleaning, and sets in motion a series of events that lead to her posing as a model in a nude gallery where she encounters a woman whose life will intertwine with her own.

‘An utterly unflinching debut novel about becoming adrift: a rare and profound book about loneliness, self-expression and disillusionment, featuring sex, love, drugs – and cleaning’ Ian Sansom
