The World, as explained by a girl growing up in a sunny country. Her parents are from another country where there's snow. There was something that happened and they moved. Her father is an expert, knows exactly where to drop bodies into the sea so they don't wash up. At school, they tell fantasies of siblings shooting themselves. Women are dragged off buses. This is just life.
Slowly horrifying, yet marvellous in how it keeps just about everything just out of reach. Could stand next to Perec's W and not be ashamed.
