Set against the backdrop of a failing Alaskan lodge, the story follows eighteen-year-old Mira, who juggles her role as a baker and housekeeper while exploring her obsessions with American sleaze and a young fisherman. As the lodge's atmosphere deteriorates due to the unraveling marriage of the owners and Lew's predatory behavior towards another employee, chaos ensues. This debut novel blends humor, sensuality, and tension, exploring the stark contrast between appearances and raw human desires, ultimately revealing the complexities of identity and isolation.
