A mesmerising debut about friendship and romance, love and grief - about the lifeline and limits of true connection.

A and O are best friends. They move through the night together-between clubs and gallery openings, hungover mornings and shared glances that say more than words. When something suddenly breaks in O, a fissure opens between them. A can no longer reach her, O withdraws, and eventually she is admitted to a psychiatric ward. As life itself trembles on the edge, A is forced to confront a painful question: what is a friendship, if you cannot save each other?

Clouds is a novel about intense closeness and insurmountable distance. This is a story that moves between intoxication and gravity, wild youth and fragile love, and that decisive moment in life when a single choice can prove fatal. You party, you love-and you fall apart.

'Sigrid Adamsson writes with playful originality about her generation's melancholy, yet watches over her characters like an old wise, soul. Can this really be a debut?'
