Douglas Stuart The sensational Dutch bestseller: ''Exceptional'' (Financial Times) ''Exhilarating'' (Independent) ''Luminous'' (Observer) ''Beautifully wild'' (Guardian) ''An earthy and irreverent new voice, thrillingly uninhibited'' (New York Times) I asked God if he please couldn''t take my brother Matthies instead of my rabbit. ''Amen.'' Ten-year-old Jas has a unique way of experiencing her universe: the feeling of udder ointment on her skin as protection against harsh winters; the texture of green warts, like capers, on migrating toads; the sound of ''blush words'' that aren''t in the Bible. But when a tragic accident ruptures the family, her curiosity warps into a vortex of increasingly disturbing fantasies - unlocking a darkness that threatens to derail them all. A bestselling sensation in the Netherlands, Marieke Lucas Rijneveld''s radical debut novel is studded with images of wild, violent beauty: a world of language unlike any other, exquisitely captured in Michele Hutchison''s translation.
