That she, the youngest daughter and the delicate child, burns down her parents' farm is not only an accident: it is also self-defence. An act of self-assertion against growing up under the rule of her parents, a pious, bigoted mother and a father with a fatal weakness for alcohol, pyrotechnics and esotericism, not to mention her older twin sisters, two ice princesses out of a wicked fairy tale who torment the infanta in stable boots wherever they can. Hunters, priest and mayor complete the village idyll near Salzburg. The chapters take their titles from paintings by Bruegel, Titian, Guttuso and Baselitz.
