Book of the Month: February

A quiet, unsettling novel about work, closeness, power, and the stories we tell ourselves about the people we think we know.

Set in The Hague, Intimacies follows an interpreter working at an international court, moving between languages, relationships, and moral grey zones. The book asks subtle but heavy questions:

What does it mean to be close to someone?

What do we choose not to see?

And how much responsibility do we carry when we understand more than we admit?

  • Genre: Literary fiction

  • Reading pace: Short, quiet, contemplative
