About A Woman in Pink
In A Woman in Pink, a Writing Award Short List choice for the Page Turner Awards,
an unnamed woman recounts her deeply intertwined relationship with Dutch, a man she meets in her twenties and immediately loves. Dutch tells her he has distanced himself from the substance-fueled chaos that once consumed him, while she explains she has left her eating disorder in the past. Together, they convince themselves they've outrun their darkest histories. But over their relationship, shadows loom large, influencing their bond in ways they never expected. She wants to free herself from the turmoil of addiction and to believe that theirs is a great love story. When their histories and choices finally collide, she is forced to confront everything she thought she knew about love, identity, and what it means to truly heal.,

Praise for A Woman in Pink
"I inhaled this book. Schikora's writing is so sharp and honest, part of you wants to shake her nameless narrator by the shoulders as you would a dear friend. But another, bigger part is sucked fully into her story, which Schikora renders with uncommon empathy and scalpel-sharp details...both dazzling and relatable, without a single false note. Anyone who has ever made unwise choices in love, which is to say everybody, should read it immediately."
— Miriam Gershow, author of Closer and Survival Tips: Stories

"...had me from page one--a complex, thrilling tale of obsessive love spanning decades, of the role of privilege, the cost of addiction, and how past traumas inform the choices we make, whether we are aware of our predilections or not. What happens when we are so caught up in our own fabrication that we don't realize we are only a footnote in the other person's story? An electrifying debut by a writer to watch."
