LONGLISTED FOR THE 2019 NATIONAL BOOK AWARDLONGLISTED FOR THE 2020 BEST TRANSLATED BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION“The cumulative effect is hypnotic. Hjorth works finely parsed and brilliant variations on her unrelenting theme of familial mistrust and misunderstanding.” –New York Times “A prickly, persuasive novel. Like Knausgaard, Hjorth is writing against repression, against the taboo on telling things as they really are. But he urges us to look at dead bodies; she forces us to regard bleeding souls.” –New Yorker Four siblings. Two summer houses. One terrible secret.
