The Sunfish

Margot Molenbeek wakes up to find that she no longer recognises herself — not her reflection, her voice, or the woman inhabiting her body. As she moves through her days, dreams and reality begin to blur: vivid, unsettling, and all too real. We enter Margot’s inner world, where love, loss, friendship, and solitude intertwine. Her fascination with a sunfish — strange, fragile, yet endlessly resilient — becomes a mirror for her own existence. Is she living, or is she only imagining her life? Through poetic language and quiet symbolism, The Sunfish explores the fragile boundary between imagination and reality, the haunting persistence of memory, and the human need for connection. It invites readers to reflect: how much of what we call reality is truly our own creation? A deeply moving and thought-provoking work for readers of existential fiction and psychological novels.
