Anna Aemelin har gjort sig en förmögenhet på barnboksillustrationer. Katri Kling lever ett asketiskt liv tillsammans med sin lillebror och en varglik hund. De två kvinnornas liv sammanflätas i en mörk tvekamp där bådas föreställningar om sig själva ställs på ända. Vem är det egentligen som bedrar vem?När romanen utkom i engelsk översättning år 2009 möttes den av hyllande recensioner. Tove Janssons prosa är glasklar, rak och exakt. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.

The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process.
