Childhood memories resurface, revealing a path into the past, winding back through generations. This matrilineal line leads toward nature, witchcraft, freedom. Could this be where they belong?What follows is an astounding quest for liberation - from generational trauma, class identity, the limits of language. It's a search for other forms of knowledge and traditions, other ways of becoming. Bold and expansive, Blood Book is an unforgettable reckoning with the past, and a mesmerising exploration of who we are.'Everything about it is fantastic'Die Welt'One can only marvel'Die Zeit'An important new voice for a new form of writing'Tages-AnzeigerPublished in the US as Sea, Mothers, Swallow, Tongues
