Andromeda

“The subtly gorgeous prose highlights the affection between two like-minded individuals, both of whom are trying to preserve what they value the most. This is perfect for devouring in a single afternoon.” —Publishers Weekly

“A confident, erudite novel, comfortable with developing at its own pace…Deeply provocative in its quiet contemplation.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A beautifully written book about a publishing company undergoing massive changes, a questionable and yet somehow aching relationship between an intern and her boss, nostalgia, the feeling of being left behind, and the ideals we cling to when everything is falling apart around us…a breath of fresh air in the literary world.” —Booklist

“Andromeda has [encapsulated what bookmaking is about] in a way that no book has yet accomplished…Moved seamlessly from Swedish to English, [translator Marlaine] Delargy brings us into the world of Stockholm and walks us around by the hand as we let ourselves feel the nostalgia, the frustration, the confusion, and the loss between two souls bound by longing.” —Chicago Review of Books

“Andromeda is the best kind of company—a book I kept longing to return to, full of ideas and emotion.” —Julia May Jonas, author of Vladimir

“Elegant and captivating, Andromeda plumbs the depths of the tantalizingly ambiguous relationship between college-aged Sofie and her middle-aged boss, Gunnar. Both characters (understandably) deride the overused phrase ‘balance of power,’ and yet the novel does indeed offer a fresh and provocative subversion of that familiar narrative—it was thrilling to watch their electric, profound connection unfold. As their worldviews intertwine, the novel delves into the ways literature shapes our lives, our desires and disappointments. I inhaled this book and will be thinking about it for a while.” —Caitlin Barasch, author of A Novel Obsession
