About the book
Seven days, narrated from inside the spiral.
Told in the first person by a narrator the writing refuses to protect, The Break-In follows an ordinary domestic life as it comes quietly undone — one decision, one omission, one deleted bank app at a time.
"It was like I was living on a floodplain. Everything I loved might get swept away."
