Chrysalis

Chrysalis, a fiercely imaginative debut by one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists, follows a woman who radically transforms her body and mind in her quest to break free from societal constraints. Through the perspectives of three interconnected characters, the novel explores her physical evolution, her online presence, and the impact on those around her. Unsettling and provocative, it raises compelling questions about selfhood, agency, and solitude in a modern world.
