See all formats and editions

A young woman goes on a perilous journey in search of her absent father.

What ensues is a Freudian adult fairytale in this exciting debut by young Swiss author Michelle Steinbeck.

A child attacks Loribeth with an iron while she is sleeping.

In retaliation Loribeth throws the iron onto the child from an upstairs window, packs the damaged body into a suitcase and sets off on her travels.

Thus starts Steinbeck's unusual, poetic novella about a young woman's transition from childhood to adulthood.
