What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Featuring an exclusive bonus interview between the author, Bea Setton, and her commissioning editor, Alice Youell.

A fresh, wry, piercingly contemporary debut about a young woman who moves to Berlin to escape her demons - and what she finds there. For fans of My Year of Rest and Relaxation and Exciting Times.


In the grip of existential malaise, 25-year-old Daphne moves to Berlin for a fresh start. Far from resolving her quarter-life crisis, things take a turn for the worse.

Because Daphne doesn't just have to navigate all the archetypal experiences of an outsider in the big city - acquiring friends and lovers, grappling with the language and a whole new way of life.

A series of mysterious and troubling events are in motion - starting with a brick hurled through her bedroom window in the dead of night - and a further unravelling ensues. What is at the heart of these strange events and our troubled heroine? Who is Daphne, really, and what is she running from?

Critics Review

Scintillating . . . Berlin is wonderfully funny, and Daphne’s observations about modern life, men and the challenges facing young women always hit the nail
