A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: "You're depressed," a doctor tells Rosa, the thirty-five-year-old heroine of this dbut novel. It is one of many simplistic diagnoses offered by Rosa's acquaintances, who are shocked when, months after her mother's death, she quits her job as a newspaper writer, is dumped by her boyfriend, and rapidly sinks into debt. To Rosa, her condition feels like anything but depression; she has a sense of excitement, of the tumult of her thoughts, of being "driven towards an end that I do not know." Kavenna pursues the causes and trajectory of a nervous breakdown with a relentlessness that comes close to overwhelming the minimal plot; still, her understanding of the complexity of depression and her evocation of her heroine's bewilderment are precise, and Rosa, for all her misery, has an appealing and often funny voice.
