After her mother's sudden death, the narrator stumbles on a series of letters accompanied by sketches inspired by the photographs of the American photographer Diane Arbus. Following their thread, she dives into the depths of her family history and into the galleries of the Serifos mines, where personal and collective uprisings were drowned in blood. A many-layered narrative in which writing, photography and painting mirror each other, the novel traces the threads between collective and personal history, the limits of individual identity and desire, and the primal bond between mother and daughter.
