Beschreibung

A COMING-OF-AGE STORY FROM ONE OF SWEDEN'S HOTTEST YOUNG AUTHORS A story of desire, innocence, and experience unfolds against the beautiful backdrop of southern Sweden's coast. When the narrator arrives in a small town to visit his dying grandmother, he meets a young woman eager to share a secret with him. The narrator grapples with his inability to explain his misgivings to the young woman, who is both pretty—but not "miss your bus” pretty—and at turns charming, repulsive, pathetic, and willful. Where the Hollyhocks Come From is a twisting and complex monologue exploring attraction and revulsion.
