As their grandmother slides into dementia, an unnamed narrator begins to question the silence that shrouds their family. Childhood memories resurface, revealing a path into the past - one that winds back generations, leading towards nature, witchcraft, freedom. Could this be where they belong?

Bold and expansive, Blood Book is an astounding quest for liberation, and a mesmerising exploration of who we are.

Published in the US as Sea, Mothers, Swallow, Tongues
