A Room Called Earth

A brilliant debut from a neurodiverse author that explores a young womans magical, sensitive, and passionate inner world.

A young woman gets ready to go to a party. She arrives, feels overwhelmed, leaves, and then returns. Minutely attuned to the people who come into her view, and alternating between alienation and profound connection, she is hilarious, self-aware, sometimes acerbic, and painfully honest.

And by the end of the night, she's shown us something radical about love, loss, and the need to belong.
