Description

WINNER OF THE GERMAN BOOK PRIZE, THE SWISS BOOK PRIZE AND THE JÜRGEN PONTO LITERATURE PRIZE

'So powerful . . . [a novel] about what it means to be human in a gendered, classist, and sexist world'
Times Literary Supplement

'Formally adventurous'
New York Times

'Everything about it is fantastic'
Die Welt

'One can only marvel'
Die Zeit

'An important new voice for a new form of writing'
Tages-Anzeiger

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
