Grim suburbia meets magical realism in Carl Johan-Vallgren's bleak tale of sibling love, betrayal and redemption.
Nella and her brother Robert live a difficult life with their mother and father in a small town on the west coast of Sweden. Robert is bullied at school, and Nella has to resort to debt and petty crime to pay off his tormentors.
When she turns to her friend Tommy for help, her suspicions are aroused by the mysterious comings and goings of his brothers at their dilapidated fishing hut. But when she uncovers the reason behind their enigmatic behaviour, her life is opened to the realities of a mindboggling secret."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
