Somewhere up north, in an area that’s referred to as the Savage Land, stands a dilapidated house in a forest. Here four children grow up, estranged from family and the nearby village. Their father has died young, their mother is a high-spirited yet deceitful woman who is haunted by creditors. Can the children escape the ever mounting problems, or has their fate already been decided?
‘A fantastic, unstoppable, unusual novel.’ – De Groene Amsterdammer
