«Azul de agosto» is the novel by Deborah Levy, published by Random House in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
Elsa M. Anderson, an acclaimed pianist, leaves the stage in Vienna at 34. At a flea market in Athens, a woman buying mechanical horses seems strangely familiar, perhaps her double. A journey through Europe, fleeing her talent and her past as a child prodigy, explores identity and how we rewrite our stories.
Translation by Antonia Martín. Deborah Levy has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize and won the Fémina Étranger.
For readers of literary and psychological fiction, interested in identity, inner life, and personal transformation.
