This allegorical novel follows a young woman who moves to her ancestral region and, after taking a job in her brother's house, finds herself surrounded by distrust and unexplained disturbances. With restrained prose and an atmosphere of unease, it explores obedience, exclusion, and imbalances of power in a highly experimental mode.

In a daily life that slowly unravels, the burden of being an outsider presses in from every side.
