Praise for Berlin : "What a wonderful, keen, bright, hilarious, twisted narrator Bea Setton has created! I loved this novel from its first page to the last." --Tom Franklin, New York Times bestselling author of Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter "Uncommonly funny, cinematically vivid, and refreshingly honest about how we deceive others and ourselves." --Lisa Halliday, bestselling author of Asymmetry "The unreliable narrator in this. . . debut is fascinating company. . . [Setton] writes perceptively about the destabilizing effects of vulnerability and loneliness in an unfamiliar environment. There's also plenty of humor in Daphne's overthinking and her cynical approach to dating. . . Setton builds her growing paranoia and sense of dread to terrific effect in this unsettling, compelling read." --The Guardian (London) " Berlin is wonderfully funny, and Daphne's observations about modern life, men and the challenges facing young women always hit the nail." --Financial Times (London) "[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 (London) "Anyone who's started over in a new city -- let alone in a another country -- will relate to this debut novel. . . . One for Sally Rooney fans." --Sunday Telegraph (London) "Bea Setton's scathing portrait of expat life traps her protagonist in layers of self-deception. Berlin is an enlightening primer for those tempted to relocate, as well as an astute accounting of a young woman's checkered struggle to change her life." -- Nell Zink, author of Avalon "A raw carnal beauty, Berlin is a brutally honest portrait of the modern millennial bell jar. Brilliant and haunting." --Liska Jacobs, author of The Pink Hotel " Berlin has everything you seek in a literary thriller: high-octane prose, pulse-racing observations of human foibles, and twisty jabs of humor. In Daphne, Setton has created an enthralling 'unlikeable' female narrator--one of my favorites!" --YZ Chin, author of Edge Case "Bea Setton's narrator Daphne, full of quirky observations, incisive humor, and a winning vulnerability, is a delight to chase through Berlin. Although I couldn't always decide whether I wanted to scold her, shake her, or join her, I know I'll never forget her." --Beth Ann Fennelly, author of The Tilted World, Praise for Berlin : "What a wonderful, keen, bright, hilarious, twisted narrator Bea Setton has created!

I loved this novel from its first page to the last." --Tom Franklin, New York Times bestselling author of Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter "In Berlin , Bea Setton shines an unsparing light on the murky grey space of a woman's mid-twenties with a narrative voice that's sharp, wry, and unexpectedly tender. Setton skewers glamorous illusions of expat life and digs deeply into the parts that are as fun to read about as they are difficult to live through." --Isabel Kaplan, bestselling author of NSFW "Uncommonly funny, cinematically vivid, and refreshingly honest about how we deceive others and ourselves." --Lisa Halliday, bestselling author of Asymmetry "The unreliable narrator in this. . . debut is fascinating company. . .

Synopsis
A New York Times Editor's Choice "Cinematic and confessional --e lectric." --The New York Times "Written in funny, punchy vignettes perfect for consumption between U-Bahn stops, and a few hours in the presence of Daphne Ferber pay generous spiritual dividends." --The Washington Post "A compelling, raw, and thrillingly strange outsider tale of loneliness and deception. Setton is a wonderful writer who, with this sharp debut, adds to the great canon of contemporary anti-heroines." -- Mona Awad, author of Bunny A wickedly insightful, darkly funny novel in which a young woman in the grip of an existential malaise moves to a new city for a fresh start but her attempt at reinvention doesn't quite go to plan When Daphne arrives in Berlin, the last thing she expects is to run into more drama than she left behind. Of course, she knew she'd need to do the usual: make friends, acquire lovers, grapple with German and a whole new way of life. She even expected the long nights gorging alone on family-sized jars of Nutella, and the pitfalls of online dating in another language. The paranoia, the second-guessing of her every choice, the covert behaviors? Probably come with the territory. But one night, when Daphne is alone in her apartment, something strange, unnerving and entirely unexpected intervenes, and life in bohemian Kreuzberg suddenly doesn't seem so cool. Just how much trouble is Daphne in, and who - or what - is out to get her? Channelling the modern female experience with razor-sharp observation and a trenchant wit, Berlin announces Bea Setton as an electrifying new voice for her generation., "Cinematic and confessional --e lectric." --The New York Times "Written in funny, punchy vignettes perfect for consumption between U-Bahn stops, and a few hours in the presence of Daphne Ferber pay generous spiritual dividends." --The Washington Post "A compelling, raw, and thrillingly strange outsider tale of loneliness and deception.
