Interesting Facts about Space

Enid knows a great deal about space and spends much of her free time listening to true-crime podcasts. Her own life feels less easy to explain. She dates women without settling into a lasting relationship, fears bald men, and is trying to build connections with the half-sisters she barely knows following their father's death. When a romantic involvement becomes more serious than expected, intimacy coincides with a growing suspicion that someone is following her. The boundary between external danger and the stories Enid tells herself becomes increasingly difficult to trust. Emily Austin's novel brings humour to a portrait of shame, family estrangement and the fear that being fully known might confirm the worst things a person believes about herself.
