WINNER OF THE GERMAN BOOK PRIZE, THE SWISS BOOK PRIZE AND THE JÜRGEN PONTO LITERATURE PRIZE
As their grandmother slides into dementia, an unnamed narrator begins to question the silence that shrouds their family. Childhood memories resurface, revealing a path into the past - one that winds back generations, leading towards nature, witchcraft, freedom. Could this be where they belong?
Bold and expansive, Blood Book is an astounding quest for liberation, and a mesmerising exploration of who we are.
Published in the US as Sea, Mothers, Swallow, Tongues
