Like the layer of permanently frozen ground that gives the book its title, that frozen membrane separates her from the outside world.

The narrator wakes up next to Victoria without yet knowing that this relationship will mark a before and after in her life. From that initial moment, the novel moves between sensory perception, everyday strangeness, and an emotional tension that turns the domestic into uncertain territory.\n\nWith her precise, poetic, and sharp style, Baltasar explores the experience of love from a radically intimate subjectivity: the body, language, possible motherhood, emotional dependence, and the constant negotiation between freedom and connection. A brief writing in length but intense in resonance.\n\nA key work within the author's literary project following Permagel, Boulder, and Mamut, recognized with the Premi Llibreter and the Premi Òmnium, and internationally celebrated for its perspective on desire and contemporary queer relationships.","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57123525755224,"sku":"LIB-PE-RA-821","price":18.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9788439746959.jpg?v=1776376099"}],"url":"https:\/\/eu.plasticbooks.com\/en\/collections\/libros-eva-baltasar.oembed","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
