Blood book

De l'Horizon, Kim, 1992-2025
Books
An unnamed protagonist is prompted by their grandmother's slide into dementia to investigate their family history. The more their grandmother forgets, the more the narrator tries to remember: what was it in their childhood that prompted them to feel so alienated from their body? Why is their grandmother struggling to differentiate between herself and her sister who died as a child? And what happened to their great aunt, who disappeared when she was young? But tracking down answers to these questions proves difficult in a family steeped in secrecy.
