Description

In her novel, Other People’s Beds, Anna Punsoda shines a light onto the darkest corners of the soul with clean, sharp prose that is punchy, devastating, and tender at the same time. Beautifully highlighting her protagonist’s body, a body that has been carved out of stone by her father’s alcoholism and her mother’s frustrated apathy, Punsoda weaves a story that is as shocking and sad as it is funny and liberating. Claustre’s stolen innocence leads to her to losing herself in other people’s beds. This powerful debut is written with such ease and fluidity that Punsoda is most definitely a writer to watch.
