Wild Geese

A compelling protagonist: Wild Geese is a beautifully written debut novel featuring a strong sense of place and well-crafted characters. Narrated by a young trans woman Phoebe Forde, her interior world is rich and well-rendered, and Phoebe’s story explores migration, loneliness, isolation, and perception versus reality with openness and vulnerability. A new voice in English-language literature: • Irish-Greek writer Soula Emmanuel’s debut novel explores growing into adulthood today, with writing and themes reminiscent of Brandon Taylor’s Real Life, Torrey Peters’s Detransition, Baby, or Naoise Dolan’s Exciting Times. Emmanuel captures the uncertainties, regrets, and tentative hopes that make up love and life, and explores what it means to navigate the contemporary world as a queer and trans person.
