'By turns funny, eccentric and raunchy.' Grazia
'Offbeat, unhinged and brilliant.' Stylist
'Utterly addictive. . . I laughed so hard it ached.' GILLIAN ANDERSON
'Juicy, salacious and compelling. Trauma shouldn't be this fun.' SARA PASCOE

Greta, a 45 year old woman, lives with her friend Sabine in an ancient Dutch farmhouse in Hudson, New York. The house is unrenovated, uninsulated, and full of bees. Greta spends her days transcribing therapy sessions for an alternative sex coach who calls himself Om. She becomes infatuated with his newest client, a repressed married woman who has never experienced an orgasm, who she affectionately refers to as Big Swiss.

One day, Greta recognizes Big Swiss’s voice in town and they quickly become enmeshed. While Big Swiss is unaware Greta has eavesdropped on her most intimate exchanges, Greta has never been more herself with anyone. Her attraction to Big Swiss overrides her guilt, and she’ll do anything to sustain the relationship…

A relationship that will transform both of their lives . . .
