'Huang's Immaculate Conception is unlike anything else I've read this year... a heartfelt love
letter to art and a superb work of fiction' New York Times A portrait of companionship -
achingly tender and twisted - that captures the tenuous line between love and possession.
Mathilde is a dizzyingly talented tortured artist whose star is on the rise - and Enka
struggling to create art that feels original is immediately drawn to her. The two strike up
a close friendship but when Mathilde's fame reaches new heights her work becoming more and
more extreme Enka becomes desperate to keep her close - no matter the cost. Enka falls in
love with and marries a billionaire whose family's company is funding new technology purported
to enhance empathy and which could allow someone else to inhabit Mathilde's mind and absorb
the trauma infecting her brain. But as their codependency deepens the boundaries between
Mathilde and Enka begin to blur setting in motion a haunting series of events that will
forever change their lives. Blisteringly smart thought-provoking and eerily timely
Immaculate Conception deftly navigates big questions of art technology authorship and what
makes us human. Its answers will haunt you long after you turn the final page. Special
