Official synopsis Publisher
Each of these four stories is set in a recognisable world depicted with a measured realism. But once the reader has learned to look beneath the calm, apparently seamless surface of the narrative, and in Stifter’s words, ‘to see with an eye of the heart’, strange tensions are revealed.
