Milk teeth : a novel

Bukowski, Helene, 1993- author, Calleja, Jen, translator

Overview

\"Skalde writes her thoughts on pieces of paper, making new discoveries and revelations, and finding scraps with which to understand her limited world. Her mother Edith tells her little, preferring the solitude of her room. Their house is full of silence, and secrets. Skalde has only ever known life in the territory, a terrain of farms and forest cut off from the rest of the world. They are isolated further, as decades since Edith's arrival in the territory she is still viewed as an outsider by their remaining neighbors. A heavy fog hangs over the territory, Skalde has never seen blue in the sky her entire childhood-- but one day the fog dissipates, and is replaced by an oppressive, perpetual heat. The territory dries out, and its people become increasingly erratic, and desperate. When Skalde finds a girl called Meisis in the forest, Skalde instantly feels she must care for her and brings her in. They form a family unit, in spite of Skalde's increasing frustrations and anger with Edith and the urgent need to keep Meisis hidden. Meisis's presence means there has been a serious breach in security for the territory, and once discovered, Meisis will be blamed for other, more deadly anomalies.\"-- Provided by publisher
