The Shape of Our Wanting
The Shape of Our Wanting is a quiet, unsettling exploration of desire - not as romance, but as a psychological and emotional force that reshapes identity, perception, and choice. Told through an intimate, reflective voice, the novel follows a narrator who becomes entangled in a relationship defined less by what is shared than by what is withheld. As longing deepens, it transforms into projection, fear, and self-erasure, forcing the narrator to confront how much of love is built from our own unmet needs.
Through subtle encounters, charged silences, and fragile moments of connection, the story traces how wanting can become a form of control, how intimacy can blur into intrusion, and how the need to be chosen can distort what we see. At once tender and unsettling, The Shape of Our Wanting asks what remains of us when we stop reaching outward for completion - and begin, finally, to inhabit ourselves.
