Peach is a teenage girl like any other. She has college, and her friends, and her parents and the new baby, and her gorgeous boyfriend Green. She has her friend Sandy, and Sid the cat, and homework to do.
But something has happened - something unspeakable - and her world has become unfamiliar, fractured into strange textures and patterns. Reeling through her refracted universe, Peach knows that the people she loves are in danger, real danger. If she is not to be swallowed whole, Peach must summon all her courage and dig deep into something nameless and strange that lies within her.

„Peach“ ist ein poetisch und verstörend intensiver Roman, der das Trauma einer jungen Frau und ihre zerrissene Wahrnehmung der Welt beschreibt. In fragmentierter Sprache fängt das Buch die psychische Zerrüttung und den schmerzhaften Heilungsprozess der Protagonistin ein. Ein intensives, tiefgründiges Werk über Verlust, Trauma und Selbstfindung.
Confusing, frightening, disgusting, and yet so relatable — somewhere between Kafka’s Metamorphosis and Hiroko Oyamada’s surrealist style of writing, blended with body horror. A book about anger, revenge, despair, rage, destruction, and transformation. A poetic abstraction that tells a story both painful and profoundly authentic.
