'An irrepressible literary talent'
Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin

An unnamed protagonist is prompted by their grandmother's slide into dementia to investigate their family history. The more their grandmother forgets, the more the narrator tries to remember: what was it in their childhood that prompted them to feel so alienated from their body? Why is their grandmother struggling to differentiate between herself and her sister who died as a child? And what happened to their great aunt, who disappeared when she was young? But tracking down answers to these questions proves difficult in a family steeped in secrecy.

Blood Book traces the heritage we have no choice but to carry: gender, language, class, trauma. Singular in style and form, it blends biography and fantasy, fairy tale and history, transforming them into a deeply personal and poetic form of expression.
