Baltasar, Eva - Boulder

Boulder is a complex and thought-provoking novel that explores the themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. Samsa, a young woman in her early 30s, is drawn to the enigmatic figure of Boulder, a mysterious stranger who appears in her life unexpectedly. As their relationship deepens, Samsa is forced to confront her own desires and fears, leading her to question the very foundations of her existence.

The novel is written in a poetic and evocative style, and Baltasar's prose is as much a character in the story as any of the human figures. The language is both tender and raw, and it perfectly captures the intensity of Samsa's emotions.
