Scorpionfish
by Natalie Bakopoulos
Thank you to Tin House Books and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy!
Available July 7th 2020
Set in the sultry, decadent and decaying Athens, Natalie Bakopoulos's second novel, "Scorpionfish" passes like a slow mirage. Dealing with the unexpected death of her parents, young academic Mira returns to her childhood home to reconcile with her past. She meets Capitan, an elder Greek man with his own demons, and Nefeli, a queer artist bringing light to contemporary Greek issues. As readers, we are transported with her to a Greece that revitalizes the olden days with equal parts passion and restraint. Bakopoulos's romantic prose will allure any reader to this salty city, so central to the story itself.
