A moving and compelling family epic about travelers. About unconditional love and care, a disordered youth and its far-reaching consequences.
Klara shares her life story with her great-granddaughter. Sometimes with humor, sometimes with irony, she takes Raji back to her youth, her old and new family and the history of the travelers.
Why does Klara say this and what does her strange reaction when meeting Raji's friend Charlie have to do with this?
“A beautiful composition, told by four women Raji, Klara, Crina and Afina. A tragic life story that is brought close to the reader.”
Elisabeth Riphagen
