Do you ever feel like you're not speaking the same language? Swedish immigrant Kristin won't talk about her pregnancy. Her Brazilian-born Scottish boyfriend Ciaran won't speak English at all; he is covering their apartment in post-it notes to teach himself Swedish. As this couple is forced to confront the thing they are both avoiding, they must reckon with the bigger questions of the world outside, and their places in it. Longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize 2021.
