| Summary: | The mysteries of kinship (families born into and families made) take disconcerting and familiar shapes in these refreshingly frank short stories. A family is haunted by a beast that splatters fruit against its walls every night, another undergoes a near-collision with a bus on the way home from the beach. Mothers are cold, fathers are absent. We know these moments in the abstract, but Adaui makes each as uncanny as our own lives: close but not yet understood. |
