Description
"This steamy and intellectual debut novel is an ode to the female body, and to a young woman discovering the potential boundlessness of her pleasure."--Refinery 29, "The Sexiest Books You'll Ever Have the Pleasure of Reading"Roxana Olsen has always dreamed of going to Paris, and after high school graduation finally plans to travel there on a study abroad program--a welcome reprieve from the bruising fallout of her parents' divorce. But a logistical mix-up brings Roxana to Copenhagen instead, where she's picked up at the airport by S�ren, a twenty-eight-year-old guide who is meant to be her steward.
Instantly drawn to one another, Roxana and S�ren's relationship turns romantic, and when he asks Roxana to accompany him to a small coastal town for the rest of the summer, she doesn't hesitate to accept. There, Roxana's world narrows and expands as she experiences fantasy, ritual, and the pleasures of her body, a thrilling realm of erotic and domestic bliss. Seduced by this newfound connection, Roxana doesn't object when S�ren requests that she spend her days alone in the apartment while he goes to the library to work.
As their relationship deepens, S�ren's temperament darkens, and Roxana finds herself increasingly drawn to a local outsider, Zlatan, whom she learns is a Muslim refugee from the Bosnian War. The cycle of awakenings sparked by these two relationships challenge and open Roxana in ways she never imagined.
A coming-of-age like no other, from a magnetic new voice in fiction, Open Me "is unflinching in its portrayal of sex, desire, racism, and the excitement and confusion of youth. Infused with erotics and politics, this is a novel that will haunt you" (Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author).
