Люди в гніздах

Every family has stories retold from generation to generation like part of a secret ritual, and others that stay out of the frame and almost vanish, settling as dust on old photographs or breaking into absurd fragments. This book mixes both, with light humour, parody and deconstruction, much as the historical and family memory of this part of the world has itself been taken apart. Into its plot come romantic elopements, shooting at the front and in the rear, unlikely turns of fate, a lonely piano abandoned at a railway station, horsemen riding up the stairs to the first floor, and the ghosts of long-dead relatives quietly eating apple jam.
