Immaculate conception. From the bestselling author of natural beauty wer. angielska - Ling Ling Huang - Opis

A portrait of companionship - achingly tender and twisted - that captures the tenuous line between love and possession.
Mathilde is a dizzyingly talented, tortured artist whose star is on the rise - and Enka, struggling to create art that feels original, is immediately drawn to her. The two strike up a close friendship, but when Mathilde's fame reaches new heights, her work becoming more and more extreme, Enka becomes desperate to keep her close - no matter the cost.

But as their codependency deepens, the boundaries between Mathilde and Enka begin to blur, setting in motion a haunting series of events that will forever change their lives.
