After the successful Permafrost, Boulder is the second novel in the triptych where Eva Baltasar explores the voice, life, and body of three women.
The protagonist of Boulder makes her living as a cook on an old cargo ship. It's the perfect setup: solitude, a cabin, the ocean, the occasional port where she can meet women, and hours to face the void, to feel the power of impermanence.
Until one day, one of those women convinces her to leave the sea, to live between four walls, and to take part in assisted reproduction and the raising of a child.
What has motherhood done to the woman she once met in a bar in Patagonia? And what will she do, now a caged animal in a single-family house in Reykjavik?
Everything has changed except her nickname: Boulder - those massive, solitary rocks scattered across the landscape, exposed to everything, with no one knowing where they came from or why they're there.
