When Daphne Ferber arrives in Berlin for a fresh start in a thrilling new city the last thing
she expects is to run into more drama than she left behind. Of course she knew she'd need to
do the usual: make friends acquire lovers grapple with German and a whole new way of life.
She even expected the long nights gorging alone on family-sized jars of Nutella and the
pitfalls of online dating in another language. The paranoia the second-guessing of her every
choice the covert behaviours? Probably come with the territory. But one night something
strange dangerous and entirely unexpected intervenes and life in bohemian Kreuzberg suddenly
doesn't seem so cool. Just how much trouble is Daphne in and who - or what - is out to get
her? Channelling the modern female experience with razor-sharp observation and witty flair
Berlin announces Bea Setton as an electrifying literary voice for her generation.
