Immaculate Conception

From the author of Natural Beauty comes a novel set in the cutthroat art world, about an obsessive friendship shattered by a mind-altering technology. Enka, struggling to find her artistic voice, is captivated by Mathilde, a brilliant, troubled classmate destined for fame. Their intense bond turns codependent, and when Mathilde’s career soars, Enka will do anything to keep her close—even marrying a billionaire whose family is funding a technology that can enter another’s mind and absorb their trauma. As the boundaries between them dissolve, art, love, and identity blur in shocking ways. Immaculate Conception is a haunting exploration of creativity, technology, and the razor-thin line between devotion and possession.
