ABOUT THE BOOK
A powerfully moving coming-of-age novel about a young trans woman in 1980s Madrid.
An unnamed girl grows up in a working-class suburb of Madrid that has no place for her. Downtown she finds community and kinship amid a dazzling nightlife of charming junkies, glamorous divas and fallen angels. With every step she takes towards the city, she meets a hostility she does not yet know how to answer – and in this thrilling, often frightening world, every decision carries the highest stakes.
Told in an irresistible voice and translated by Mara Faye Lethem, Bad Habit is a story about the search for identity and the power of chosen family that speaks to the outsider in all of us.
