The book by the multiple finalist of the Anasoft Litera Award and winner of the European Union Prize for Literature 2019 tells a story of infidelity that hides unsuspected risks. Everything seems to be heading towards disaster, which, however, takes an unexpected turn in the end.
The novel depicts violence and physical brutality through the behaviour of the protagonist’s lover, who is the object of her sexual addiction, peeling away, layer by complex layer, the process of maturing, generational trauma, crisis of family and male identity. Kristína undergoes a personal transformation that leaves her character profoundly changed. As the story evolves, the novel’s tone gradually changes, turning what begins as the depiction of a “crazy family” into something much darker and increasingly apocalyptic.
