SELECTED AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY The Times AND New York Times

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2025 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION

'It's been a while since we were stunned by an ambitious family saga'

The Times

'One of this summer's most buzzed-about novels'

Financial Times

MEET THE MIKKOLA SISTERS: INA, EVELYN, AND ANASTASIA.

Ina is tall, serious, a compulsive organizer. Evelyn is dreamy, magnetic, a smooth talker. And Anastasia is moody, chaotic, quick to anger.

Following them from afar is Jonas. Like the sisters, he's Swedish Tunisian, raised in Stockholm but yearning for so much more. His life intersects with theirs across decades and continents, from Tunis to Berlin and New York. And when Evelyn goes missing, it's Jonas who tracks her down - and helps break the curse that has loomed over the Mikkolas for years.

'One of those books you live inside and miss when it's over'

Isabella Hammad, author of Enter Ghost

'If you welcome this novel into your mind, it will warm and transform you'

Tess Gunty, author of the Rabbit Hutch

'Astonishing . . . every character - every sentence - is startlingly, indubitably alive'

Katie Kitamura, author of Audition
