Opis

Trine and her mother live on the German coast. The mudflats that surround them disappear and reappear with the North Sea tides. Anna roams the beaches collecting flotsam and jetsam to make art, Trine loves playing on a war-time shipwreck. That is, until Trine's brother appears.

Recenzje

Ziervogel grew up in Germany and this taut, mysterious novel not only conjures female subjectivities and grief, but it also paints a haunting portrait of the country in the 1950s Germany, with its greater sense of loss, and the looming spectre of crimes committed during the war.
