Description: Greta and Valdin by Rebecca K. Reilly Set in a world that is deeply familiar (but also a bit sexier and more stylish than the real one), Greta and Valdin will speak to anyone who has had their heart broken, or has decided that they dont want to be a physicist anymore, or has wondered about all of the things they dont know about their family. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The modern world is too much for me. I feel like Im George of the Jungle. -Greta At the moment, for personal reasons, I dont like reading things about people being in love with each other. -Valdin Valdin is still in love with his ex-boyfriend Xabi, who used to drive around Auckland in a ute but now drives around Buenos Aires in one. Greta is in love with her fellow English tutor Holly, who doesnt know how to pronounce Gretas surname, Vladisavljevic, properly. From their Auckland apartment, brother and sister must navigate the intricate paths of modern romance as well as weather the small storms of their eccentric Maori-Russian-Catalonian family. This beguiling and hilarious novel by Adam Foundation Prize winner Rebecca K Reilly owes as much to Shakespeare as it does to Tinder. Set in a world that is deeply familiar (but also a bit sexier and more stylish than the real one), Greta and Valdin will speak to anyone who has had their heart broken, or has decided that they dont want to be a physicist anymore, or has wondered about all of the things they dont know about their family. Greta and Valdin is a complete world. I was totally captivated. It is warm and funny, inventive and charming, with a genuine and earned tenderness at its heart. -Kate Duignan, author of The New Ships and Breakwater Author Biography Rebecca K Reilly (Ngati Hine, Ngati Wai) is a writer from Tamaki Makaurau. She won the 2019 Adam Foundation Prize. Greta and Valdin, forthcoming with VUP in May 2021, is her first book.
