BESCHRIJVING

The sensational Dutch bestseller: Marieke Lucas Rijnevelds extraordinary portrait of a farming family distorted by grief, translated by Michele Hutchison.

I asked God if he please couldnt take my brother Matthies instead of my rabbit. Amen.

Ten-year-old Jas has a unique way of experiencing her universe: the feeling of udder ointment on her skin as protection against harsh winters; the texture of green warts, like capers, on migrating toads; the sound of blush words that arent in the Bible. But when a tragic accident ruptures the family, her curiosity warps into a vortex of increasingly disturbing fantasies – unlocking a darkness that threatens to derail them all.

A bestselling sensation in the Netherlands, Marieke Lucas Rijnevelds radical debut novel is studded with images of wild, violent beauty: a world of language unlike any other..
