BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 ACCORDING TO FINANCIAL TIMES, GUARDIAN, INDEPENDENT, TIME MAGAZINE
‘Levy’s lyrical, pitch-perfect prose is an exploration of our reasons for living, the forces that drive us and the inner music that controls the rhythms of our dance through life and love’ Independent
The mesmerizing new novella from the two-time Booker-shortlisted author of Hot Milk and Swimming Home
At the height of her career, concert pianist Elsa M. Anderson - a former child prodigy, now in her thirties - walks off stage in Vienna, in front of an audience.
Now she is in Athens, watching as another young woman, foreign but uncannily familiar - almost a twin - buys a pair of mechanical dancing horses at a flea market. Elsa wants the horses too, but there are no more for sale. She roams the port, running away from her talent and her history.
Thus begins a journey across Europe, shadowed by the unseen woman who bought the dancing horses.
A luminous portrait of melancholy and metamorphosis, August Blue reveals the ways in which we seek to lose an old story, find ourselves in others, and remake ourselves anew.
‘Deborah Levy writes like you’re dreaming and I mean that literally’ Stuart Kelly, The Scotsman
‘A virtuoso novel of identity and collapse... [it] flickers constantly between comedy and darkness. You know you will read August Blue again’ M John Harrison, Guardian
