Berlin

Scintillating . . . Berlin is wonderfully funny, and Daphne's observations about modern life, men and the challenges facing young women always hit the nail * FINANCIAL TIMES * Uncommonly funny, cinematically vivid, and refreshingly honest about how we deceive others and ourselves. * Lisa Halliday, author of ASYMMETRY * Anyone who's started over in a new city -- let alone a new country -- will relate . . . One for Sally Rooney fans * Sunday Telegraph * [An] engagingly self-conscious debut . . . our attention is firmly held by the wry wit of Daphne's voice, as well as regular hints that she's something of an unreliable narrator . . . the book's success lies chiefly in its line by-line charm * DAILY MAIL * Setton builds her growing paranoia and sense of dread to terrific effect in this unsettling, compelling read. * OBSERVER * Weird, compelling and unique: I was completely absorbed by BERLIN, with its slippery, unsettling narrator, its vivid evocation of a city seen through the troubling lens of disorientation, and by the writing itself, which gleamed. * Francesca Reece, author of VOYEUR * Intimate, confessional . . . Rich and rewarding . . . readers will leave eager to hear more from Bea Setton. * CultureFly * Berlin made me laugh aloud, and then became strangely and compellingly dark. I loved it. * Louisa Reid, author of THE POET * Enjoyable and astute...There is something enduringly attractive in the youngster abroad setup...Daphne's impressions are rendered in precise, lively prose... * Rob Doyle, TLS * I loved this novel with its complex, flawed and fascinating heroine. Bea Setton presents us with a vivid and youthful depiction of one of my favourite cities in the world. A wonderful achievement. * Nick Bradley, author of THE CAT AND THE CITY *
