Come for the bees, stay for the donkeys!' MELISSA BRODER I delighted in this cynical, sexy, hopeless, hopeful, Hudson Valley jubilee. 'Big Swiss is a dark party a hilarious romp through new age pop psychology, romantic obsession, sapphic acrobatics, dogs, and the desire to end it all. A new - and not entirely honest - relationship is going to be born.Ī relationship that will transform both of their lives. What Greta doesn't know is that she's about to bump into Big Swiss in the local dog park. Greta is miles away, sitting at a desk in her own house, wearing only headphones, fingerless gloves, a kimono, and legwarmers, transcribing this disembodied voice. Greta and Big Swiss are not in the same room, or even the same building. Nor has Greta actually ever been to Switzerland. Well that's how Greta imagines seeing her they haven't actually ever met in person. She's a head-turner: including the heads of infants and dogs. Greta can see her now: dressed top to toe in white, that adorable gap between her two front teeth, her penetrating blue eyes.

That's Greta's nickname for her - she is tall, and she is from Switzerland. This absolute joy of a book is full of the brilliant weirdness hidden from view in so many of our seemingly everyday lives - although thank goodness unlike Big Swiss ours aren't transcribed for everyone to read.** SOON TO BE A MAJOR HBO SERIES STARRING JODIE COMER ** One which transforms both of their lives. And when Greta realises the elegant, slender 'white asparagus' lady she is talking with in the dog park one day is in fact Big Swiss herself, an unlikely - and not entirely honest - relationship is born. Greta even gives her the name 'Big Swiss'. FEW (all clients are initials only) is 28, Swiss, a gynaecologist, married but has never had an orgasm. Greta has been a listener all her life, so when she arrives in Hudson - a one horse town as packed with gossip as it is honeybees (60,000 of them to be precise) - what better place to start her search for work than with the town's six shrinks? Within weeks, secrets are pouring directly into Greta's ears as she begins working for Om, a sex and relationship coach, and soon Greta knows the residents of her local community intimately.
