Liliana Hermetz

Keynote
The author of one of the most acclaimed debuts of recent years returns with a dark and mystery-laden saga that spans Poland,
France and Ukraine.


Selling Points
 Formally original and affecting prose.
 A tale of the cruelties of war fromthe perspective of ordinary people.
 An incredible use of the saga convention to tell of a world torn apart by divisions and conflicts.
 Vivid and expressive female characters.
 Winner of Poland’s most important award for debutants – the Conrad Award (she was the first winner in the award’shistory).
 

Description
The war ravaged Irène Villeman’s peace of mind, and scattered her family acrossEurope: through Poland, Ukraine andFrance. These ordinary people in various parts of the world try to tell their painful stories. Hermetz’s new book is an intimate novel in dozens of voices and styles. It shows the tragedy of war and chaos, which creeps into reality, but is also an attempt to reconstruct her own identity.
Is this at all possible? How can one speak about oneself anew when so much has been irrevocably lost? Hermetz’s prose is an immediate delight with its succulent language and its intricate construction; perhaps this is the only way to describe the crippled world.

Target Market
Readers of dramas.
Readers of ambitious contemporary
literature.
