Naked in the Light: A Meditation on Being Seen

What if tenderness wasn’t fragile — but fierce?
In a quiet house by the sea, a woman and her partner have built a rhythm of presence, touch, and truth. But when a visitor from the past arrives, the spell is tested — not by betrayal, but by memory, by comparison, by the ache of being truly seen.
Naked in the Light is a luminous novel about the courage to remain open. Told in spare, poetic prose, it traces the emotional landscape of a relationship shaped not by conflict, but by choice — the choice to stay, to soften, to speak.
For readers of Rachel Cusk, Ocean Vuong, and Yōko Ogawa, this is a story of aftermath, of quiet reckoning, and of the fierce grace it takes to live without armour.
