Greta spends her days transcribing therapy sessions for a sex coach who calls himself Om. The house is unrenovated, uninsulated, and full of bees. Greta lives with her friend Sabine in an ancient Dutch farmhouse in Hudson, New York. “One of the funniest books of the last few years” ( Los Angeles Times) about a sex therapist’s transcriptionist and her affair with one of the patients. ‘The blend of real and wit made for a wonderfully sublime experience.“Wild…hilarious…so good.” - Cosmopolitan, Best Books of the Year * “A laugh-out-loud bad romance for Gen Xers and an ode to misfits who just want to belong.” - Oprah Daily * “Always interesting…too fun to stop.” - Vanity Fair ‘ I haven’t read a book this engrossing for a long time.’
‘The premise is bizarre but brilliant! I am ready to move to Hudson, NY to meet these folks!’ A new – and not entirely honest – relationship is going to be born.Ī relationship that will transform both of their lives. What Greta doesn’t know is that she’s about to bump into Big Swiss in the local dog park. Greta is miles away, sitting at a desk in her own house, wearing only headphones, fingerless gloves, a kimono, and legwarmers, transcribing this disembodied voice.
Greta and Big Swiss are not in the same room, or even the same building. Nor has Greta actually ever been to Switzerland. Well that’s how Greta imagines seeing her they haven’t actually ever met in person. She’s a head-turner: including the heads of infants and dogs. Greta can see her now: dressed top to toe in white, that adorable gap between her two front teeth, her penetrating blue eyes. That’s Greta’s nickname for her – she is tall, and she is from Switzerland. Trauma shouldn’t be this fun.’ SARA PASCOE I laughed so hard it ached.’ GILLIAN ANDERSON ‘Made me laugh and think too much (the right amount?) about sex and death and honesty.‘ MONICA HEISEY ** SOON TO BE A MAJOR HBO SERIES STARRING JODIE COMER **
