Description
Greta quits a numbing life and lands in Hudson, New York, where she transcribes recordings for Om, a sex and relationship coach with a flair for gongs and kundalini. One voice stops her cold: a Swiss gynecologist whose calm intensity hides a brutal past. Greta knows her only as "FEW"—until the day the woman steps out of the dog park trees with a wolfish dog and a gaze like a searchlight. Greta lies about her name, starts an affair, and keeps typing the woman’s therapy sessions in secret. That choice detonates her life. In the margins: a woodstove that won’t sleep, a Dutch farmhouse full of bees, a friend who steals groceries and picks locks with charm, and a dog who nearly dies thanks to a man just released from prison. Big Swiss is a sharp, funny, and aching look at survival, intimacy, and the mess we make when we chase feeling alive.
