A big sister descends into the family basement. Another sister refuses her younger brother. A third sister with memory loss is on the run, seeking shelter at Notpla. A fourth set of siblings travel to Hungary with their late mother in a coffin. They each have a different version of their mother's story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the likes of August Strindberg, Franz Kafka, Andrej Kurkov, Knut Hamsun, T.S. Eliot, Bela Tarr, and Hieronymus Bosch, Scavenius's universe is chilling and excruciatingly seductive. In it, nothing can be said to be true anymore. After all, anything can be propaganda today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scavenius, Ursula","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50666274160824,"sku":"9781999992842","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781999992842.jpg?v=1734737398","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781999992842","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
